    I don't know if the app is useful. JAF seems to offer help in English, but not in this app. Everything is in Japanese. When setting up the app, you need to create a strong password. The thing is, you can't paste passwords from Password Managers. What's going on! When trying to log in to JAF My Page, it kicks you out of the app to a browser and I haven't been able to log in yet. As a foreigner, the app is basically worthless for me. From a security perspective, it's really bad because it encourages using easy passwords.

    Did they test this app before releasing it? Even the Pixel 3, which is supposed to be AOSP, has issues with the focus on the membership number and password input forms. It's difficult to even input anything, so it can't be used as a membership card. It seems like they didn't test the basics, so I wish they would revert back to the original membership card app.

    I chose JAF because I heard it supports English. Turns out, it doesn't. Instead of helping with English, the app just bombards you with ads. It seems like using the app is pretty much useless.

    Hey, so this app needs to have its interface in English so that it can be helpful to most people living in Japan.

    Logging in is such a hassle! And you can't even paste your password. I'm fed up with this app, I'm quitting my membership because of it.

    Hey, how about creating an English version of the JAF mobile app so that foreigners can fully enjoy its services? I'm having trouble using the app because it's in Japanese. Updating the language would be super helpful. Thank you!
