As part of our QA team’s ongoing review of crypto-related apps, we tested Valora – Crypto Wallet. Here are the bugs we found.

If the user attempts to go back and then clicks the “Next” button again, the correct amount will be displayed.
Expected Result:
The entered amount of money, in the current case, should be displayed on the Select Payment Method page as 555.00 EUR instead of 55.00 EUR.

During testing, I found a few major functional bugs. I recommend conducting regression testing after fixing these bugs, as they may impact other parts of the application.
