The app was working fine until today. Now it says that I don't have an account. Yet I purchased a year and am only a few months in. Update 6.24.24: problem was fixed in February.

Love the content, but the app needs improvement! It is very slow on my phone, and once the episodes are over and I'm trying to exit the app it doesn't let me and makes my screen go black and my phone get hot. I don't have these issues with any other apps. Hopefully this is resolved soon! (I noticed similar comments already from other users in reviews but wanted to add that I am experiencing this as well)
