After an update a year or 2 ago, codes no longer automatically refresh after the timer completes. Instead, you must now manually refresh by pulling down on the screen, rotating the phone to switch from portrait to landscape (or vice-versa), or holding down on an entry to edit it (which will still refresh all entries). The basic functionality of an authenticator app is to display a valid code which does not currently function properly.

Got really tired of things not working correctly. Cloud syncing refused to work. On the rare occasion it actually did sync it would add all the entries from the cloud as duplicate entries. Lacking in a lot of features and it's a pain trying to migrate to a different app. I switched to Aegis Authenticator and it was the best decision I ever made. Took a while to switch my accounts to Aegis thanks to Google not allowing you to export to other apps, but no regrets.

In my personal experience, I exported the codes from my old android phone and restored the app on my Apple phone no problem. And when I went back, there was no problem migrating the other way. The latest Google app stays synced with the cloud so I can use multiple devices with the app. And I have 20+ codes for various things in there and working just fine. The colour of the Codes is a bit out of sync but the codes themselves shift ok. MS Authenticator is better, until you have to swap or change.
