Good luck using it. It's not slow, the app would need to open eventually for it to be simply slow. Non functional now for days! If Discovery forces clients to use a poorly developed app, at least make it possible to login. If you can't do that, bring back the full functionality on the Website. And please, there's no point to ask reviewers to send an email as your only response. It's clearly not a once off problem. I'm deleting the app until I see comments here that the problem has been resolve.

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.

This app is constantly going down and wont allow me to open it. I enter credentials correctly then it automatically closes. I have to constantly install it, then uninstall it then install it again. Use it mainly for Vitality tracking/rewards etc. I dont get why you cant just log on the web page and view your Vitality Active Rewards??? Forced to use an app that constantly acts up on Android devices.
