Error messages that are not understandable, error messages that if you just hit enter eventually go away, used to but now won't let my wife and I log in on same phone, forces a reinstall of App. Discussing badly developed. Clearly never tested by real testers. I would be embarrassed to be part of such an incompetent dev team. I was reading some of the reviews. Discovery appologies for the problems, many problems, but the issues keep comming. it appears that all they do is appologise, not fix.

For the past week, I just keep getting "unable to load Vitality Active rewards" errors (or similar) on all Vitality pages. Tried reinstalling, unlinking and relinking device, nothing fixes it. What's the point of using Discovery and paying for Vitality and Bank if I can't access the rewards... And unfortunately you can't access it on the site, only the app, which is broken for me.
