Ratings and reviews

I'm only giving this a 2 bc the issue is incredibly frustrating and deters me from wanting to post. so... while typing, different words will be deleted instead of corrected, causing me to have to go back through and ensure words weren't omitted bc the app deletes them while typing for whatever reason. Please fix this. It's an integral part of the app.

This app is one of the most helpful tools I have ever come across. The sheer volume of groups and helpful connections are amazing. There's so many to choose from and I have not found one that I did not find helpful and adequate at delivering a good message. The time frames are also helpful. I work a night shift and a schedule that has been very dynamic on days and I can always look on the app for what is going on around that time and find a good group of people to connect with.

I downloaded the app and it basically freezes on the home screen and I cannot navigate it. I have a Google pixel 8 pro not sure if that matters
