Exceptionally glitchy. I've been unable to get help from Discovery online. They tell me I'm not on the latest version even though I am. I even showed them a screenshot of the version number on the web in the Google Play Store. As a developer myself I found the whole experience extremely lacking. I regret signing up for Vitality and at this point I'm highly considering moving to a different medical aid.

Probably the buggiest app on my phone. Currently logging in causes it to crash, but it's always been extremely slow. There's a confusing maze of options, and everything you click on brings up a loading wheel. Also, sometimes you just don't get any health goals for a month.

Worst app ever. Keeps crashing, says challenges are incomplete even when complete, logs in, then crashes. Been doing this all morning. Most inconsistent app as one day it works seemlessly and the next its bombing. And if maintenance is happening in the background perhaps that needs to be noted.
