Having a lot of issues with the app on my Samsung phone. A lot of links I click on social media adverts or even in emails from developers don't open the app, they open up my browser instead. Then, on the rare occasions clicking on links DOES open up the app, it often forwards me to the browser page for it anyway! 😫 The settings are correctly set to Kickstarter being the "default app" for opening supported links.

It's pretty good but loses 3 stars as follows, 1) images are not zoomable, so when I want to try and read small text on an image I have to fire up the web browser instead, 2) It doesn't give a quick option to go to the kickstarters I've backed that are active, so I put a web browser link on the "desktop" of my phone instead, 3) because the web browser is infinitely better than using the app. Overall the app should give something more than the website, not less, so they shouldn't have bothered.

I've given this app 3 stars and not 5 for the reason being, there isn't enough security for the app user. Often you can place hundreds, thousands of £/$ down on a campaign. These campaigns CAN AND WILL take months and months to launch. We as backers, are often left in the dark without update on the progress. We need more security, we need more updates and options for support.
