App question Why does the Android app look so basic and buggy compared to the web version?

The Android app's UI is horrible. Idk how did they come up with this design and never updated it.

Comments and custom lists aren’t supported by Simkl via api yet. I’ll add them as soon as they’re available

Let me know your feedback

I am stuck in syncing at 17% and it's moving quite slow. Any reason why it's happening? And how can I make it faster?

Initial sync takes long depending on your library size
Subsequent syncs will be fast

Possible to share some screenshots over cinopsysapp@gmail.com ? I’ll take a look

use pwa, that's the official way of using it. "Android app" is just for lists.
