Performance problem

The app is pathetic now. Please fix the issue. Everytime we use it, we have login like logging into the website. Also the content is not loading properly.
SRG0306SRG0306

When it works it’s good but it doesn’t work very often

I’m constantly logged out of blackboard and nothing loads first time if I click it from a notification. I have to close it and then manually go to what the notification was from.

However when it works it’s nice but the mobile web version is less headache inducing the mobile app
