It's basically the same experience as you just went to the Web app, horrible optimization for Android devices basically anything that's not Apple. The app "dies" if you don't have wifi also. I would quickly exit the app to do something else and go back to see the whole app just having to reload Please for the love of Chirst I pay for this per year and considering switching to another provider if my subscriptionends. Just make a native app for us Non Apple devices. Also the new UI is 💩, wth
