Maybe they took the „f*ck it, ship it“ advice too seriously and shipped it a bit too fast?

Who knows but after learning this I would be highly cautious to buy anything from this company until they‘ve proofen to be more careful in the future.

I am fairly certain that the lean methodology of "if you are not embarrassed by your first release, you released too late" may have been a factor.

Being a Kickstarter project, the pressure to meet production deadlines is severe, and any technical debt inherent since the 'quick and dirty' MVP probably stays unpaid.
