An editorial reading of the saved reviews
A minimalist 2FA authenticator that works fine until you change your phone. Losing all codes when switching devices without manual transfer is a systemic problem known to every long-time user.

What people use it for
Google ecosystem users who want basic TOTP with no extras.
What reviews praise
No ads or bloat, Google account sync now helps when transferring, simple interface.
What reviews complain about
Before cloud sync was added, migration was a disaster, codes occasionally vanish, no way to organize entries into folders or rename them, the QR camera doesn't work for some users.
What users experience
2 excerpts from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.
This is generally good, but if you forget to migrate things manually before getting a new phone, your accounts are forever lost
I only click into the app to get a code when needed. Logged in one day and every single one of my accounts was no longer there. No codes for anything, and guess what? Now I can't access anything else. DO NOT USE THIS APP
