Every time I need to use this app, it says Update Required, then I have to go through the whole process of updating it, logging in again, and initiating the ID request again. Once it's updated, it does it's supposed to, but you can never just use the app, it's ALWAYS requiring updates. Super inconvenient and unhelpful.

Woeful, buggy and really dumb app. Verification codes take +10 mins to arrive (if at all). I have tried to complete the processes so many times but give up I frustration every time.
