### 1/5 — Worthless

*2022-04-11, version 6.0.10*

I’ve tried several times to use this app and every single time I try to log it and it doesn’t recognize my email or phone and just sends me back to register. I cannot register again because an account already exists with my information-the account I originally created. Useful to me.
