The app has always been easy to use, and the latest update seems to successfully fix crashes in it. The only problem now is that the app is using 500MB of storage for no discernible reason. On an 8GB phone, that’s quite a lot of the available storage! Could it be made less space-hungry please? Since late 2022 the UI has been incredibly slow to use, taking 5s to respond to touch input. It’s now infuriating to use. Please fix this!

Update July 2022: reminders have disappeared again. Update 22 December: reminders have disappeared again. I have been using this app since it was released. The update caused two problems. One is having to relog into the app, with which some reviewers are having problems. The second glitch is the loss of reminder notifications. I have notifications allowed on my phone, but it appears the app is not sending them.
