This app, as well as the website on PC, is so unbearably slow that it has frozen my phone and dragged my PC's speed to an absolute crawl just by being open. I've done everything from clearing the cache on phone and PC, to uninstalling & reinstalling (or shutting off my PC), to fix the issue; and nothing fixes the issue, but the fact that it's happening to multiple people everywhere on multiple devices already shows the issue is not on my end.

The X app sucks. The desktop is much better. The app automatically goes to the top of the notices list after every single time I respond to someone's response that is listed in the notices. after coming back to the list of notices, I half to scroll all the way down the list to find where I was to respond to other. It auto loads in the following and for you tabs as well without my input.

This app is so unbearable to use. Everytime an ad pops us, it lags and sometimes freezes my phone. i have to report them (i hide the ads by reporting them) so it can stop lagging. I scroll too fast, it lags. I scroll too slow, an ad pops up that lags my phone, every single time. Also everytime i try checking the quotes, NOTHING appears even though it says that there's at least a dozen or a hundreds of them. Whatever you guys add in each updates, make it fix these issues please.
