What happened
The November 2021 iOS beta missed its schedule. The app reached the App Store on February 21, 2022 but immediately put tens of thousands of users on a waitlist amid glitches; CEO Devin Nunes conceded it would not be "fully functional" until the end of March. A web version followed in May 2022 with geographic restrictions, and Google Play approval did not come until October 12, 2022 — nearly a year after the promised beta.
