Officially the worst app on app store

This is by far one of the worst software experiences I’ve ever had. It feels like only about 5% of the app actually works as intended. I honestly don’t understand how it was approved for release. Instead of improving their existing app, the company seems to launch a new one every year—and somehow each version is worse than the last. I now have five different apps installed, and each one only performs a single limited function. None of them are properly maintained or meaningfully updated. Rather than fixing and improving what they already have, they just abandon it and release another poorly designed replacement. It feels disorganized and incredibly frustrating as a customer. Their desktop software is just as disappointing. What makes this especially frustrating is that their hardware is actually excellent—but the software completely undermines it. The company seriously needs to reconsider its software strategy and invest in a complete overhaul. Right now, the apps are damaging what could otherwise be a strong reputation.
