A general suggestion
I would like to see more energy put into running it as an image (and advertising it). It is already a Docker container (at least it has a Dockerfile I noticed).
This means it can run standalone without accessing the app.mpw webpage, on any computer and android mobile device.
This is security-wise excellent, as you don't need to be afraid of anyone catching on public wifi, or with DNS manipulation your private keys.
Additionally a suggestions for PIVCards, as it's part of the wallet, I guess:
It would be great to know how much PIVX in front it would cost to buy a card, not in the end of the checkout, and how much $ this represents.
For example, you want to buy a $50 Amazon voucher, but in the end it costs you $57. That would be nice to know

Thanks for the report!
We'll take a look where this is coming from.
A docker-powered deployment has just been merged to Master, actually! It is currently more suited towards Testing, but anyone with a little bit of know-how can relatively easily deploy MPW on their own setups, including the Explorers and RPC nodes required for MPW to function without any 3rd-party data sources.
For users of MyPIVXWallet, this already happens in-wallet (the wallet displays the value of PIV you're sending, before you send it), PIVCards currently has a 5% markup, so a $50 card would end up costing $52.50 - this is likely to drop slightly in the near future as an upcoming Labs Cashback system is planned.
Actually, I just took a deeper look. Starting the docker image locally and entering the RPC and explorer should already be fine. I believe this is a big thing to advertise - locally running the wallet from your docker desktop.
To be able to view the amount, one needs to enter first the refund address. I feel it would be more user friendly if you could see it first, after selecting the card, and then how much PIVX & $ it would be in total.
Additionally I'm missing important information:
- a list of available cards in the selected country - one can only search if something is there, a complete list would be definitely beneficial for the user
- what is being logged and stored - is my IP stored somewhere, how is the user data processed, what is kept and stored, where.
- who to address if there is a problem with the card

Ah, now I understand what you mean: the main issue here is that PIVCards actually does not compute and create the order until after the Refund Address stage, PIVCards is technically a reseller, so orders have to be created on-demand only when finalised, otherwise it'd be estimating, and I don't really like to show users "unfinalised" amounts.
To answer these sequentially:
- This is planned: just it may require some pretty large design efforts (currently our design team is 100% focused on MPW and PIVX Rewards), so this may take a little while to achieve.
- Your Refund Address and PIVX TXID is stored on our PIVCards Master server in case of any order issues: absolutely nothing else personally identifiable is logged, not IP nor any device information. (Of course: best to NOT trust me, I always recommend a VPN, Tor, and using fresh addresses for refunds, and paying with SHIELD, be as overkill as you like, PIVCards does not discriminate anonymity).
- Most order issues can typically be handled without contact (in these cases, the system automatically refunds you), in other cases; the PIVX Labs Discord has a ticket system for direct contact with the Labs team, whom you'd provide your Order ID to.
