blockchain.info Android app

What's going on with the Blockchain app for Android? The original one has been removed and a new one has taken its place.

This isn't how upgrades normally work and so the situation does not inspire confidence.

Yeah that's kinda strange, can anybody tell me whether I should upgrade or not? The old blockchain app has a security vulnerability where it is possible to transfer money without any kind of password when double encryption isn't activated. I hope this is solved now.

Yes please do.

What is actually happening is you have entered the second password once and it is being remembered a second time. I am aware of this issue and it will be fixed next update.

Thanks, I did and it works like a charm!
