Paypal update lameness.

[RotaryPhone]

I just updated my Paypal app. I have a couple issues with the new version (in addition to the extreme permissions required to use this app).

1) I use a 4 digit pin number to log in. With the old version, as soon as I would type the 4th and last digit of my pin to log in, the app would start the log in process. With the new version, I actually have to click "log in."

2) The old version used to close the app when I logged out, taking me back to my homescreen. With the new version, when I click "log out" it takes me back to the Paypal log-in page. I now have to click on the phone's home key to get back to the homescreen.

Does anybody else use this app? Even though I'm only talking about a couple more clicks here, it is twice as many clicks as I used to have to make to accomplish the same thing before I updated. Since I'm usually operating my phone with one hand, these additional clicks are a drag. Can anybody think of a way to revert this new turd back to it's original functionality? BTW, F Paypal too.

Must be a Laziness thing, I use it all the time and it hasn't bothered me

I'm not lazy. I think it's stupid to have to make twice as many clicks to check my balance and get back to my homescreen. I use this app all the time too, that's why it bothers me. Did the Paypal app function as I have explained on your phone too, before the update? Has it changed for you too?

Yep, mine works just like you stated, after PIN type I have to hit log in, and when I log out it doesn't go back to home screen.

Probably a security change.

All right then. Thanks bd! I bet you're right. This probably was a security update. Cheers!
