Finally! This app has been updated the right way. Let's hope it lasts. 👍✌️

Everytine I open the app, the message pops up that I need to update. I click on that, which brings me to the Google Play store, I select open and only then I can use it. This happens every single time and it's annoying. I'm using a Google Pixel, with the latest Android OS. The app itself once I can use it, is good. Please fix this issue.

The new app doesn't work with a VPN turned on.

The old app says it's discontinued and forces the update to this version, which crashes immediately upon opening. Adding because of developer response: Uninstalling, deleting all data, rebooting, installing directly didn't change anything, and can't get to the feedback form in the app, because like I said, it crashes immediately. Open app, count to 1, app crashes. Nothing has time to load except the prompt to allow notifications (doesn't matter if I pick yes or no either)
