App does not advance

I am trying to sign in. I used this app in Feb 2026, today it says I’m a first time user. The app doesn’t continue for me to use. Maybe I should just say yes, first time user?!

App doesn’t work

Heard about this app so my wife and I downloaded it to our phones, but nothing works. All we get is an error message stating “
APIError::RequestFailed [Status: 0 |
Error: A TLS error caused the secure connection to fail.]” Clicking App Support just takes us to a government page that says “404-Page not found.”
