    Yes, the Android app is shitty. It's not a real, native Android app. They use WebViews, which are slow. The back button doesn't work etc.

    I don't use it because while it IS easier to type a 4-digit PIN (the minimum length) than to look up the numbers on the physical card, I prefer the security of the card. (Though if someone with eidetic memory sees it, you're toast : )

  2. Did this ever get released? I still see the same old Digital Security Card+ on the Website with the lyquid crystal display. What would the display be on the new card - E-Ink?

  3. Did IB release a new version of the card with an updated Logo?

  5. I have the old design as well but the card is several years old. The battery should fail soon so I was wondering if the new logo design is on the card already.

    Should I call the client service if I lost my IB key?

    Yes, they can verify your id, give a temp code and set you up with a new key. (ideally you have a smartphone and can use the ibkey software which is very convenient).
