JA*****, 2023-12-31

Crashes on a regular basis. Stops and won't load any further. Then shuts down. 22 is best followed by 16. Now a month later 2/13/22, it still just shuts down in the middle of a story.6-30-22 still the same. 12-10-22 - Crashes now while going thru my wifi, not a cell tower. It crashed trying to load video. Why can't they fix it? 9/26/23 - Sitting under a cell tower with 5 bars showing on my Android phone, and it crashes as it always does. Why can't it be fixed? This is the ONLY app that does so!
