Works great but…

It’s slow to open. Spinning thing spins but I don’t care about “what’s hot right now”. Number one function is Search and see what’s overdue.

Sooo slow

Lately all this app does is spin and spin when I try to use it. After every use I have to uninstall and reinstall to be able to use it. Worked great up until about a month ago
