Keeps freezing on me when putting in dates and states. Please fix.

The updates have made the app harder to use

Within the last month, the updates to this app have tremendously complicated the purpose of the app. I can’t touch the screen to copy someone’s name. When I am in my temple files and look at someone’s information, the app sends me back to the top of my list instead of back to where I last was located on the list. The chat function shuts down the app. Please revert to previous versions, this is making the Lord’s work very difficult and it seems that the programmers have done this on purpose.

UPDATE: The changes have not been. Continues to make working on it difficult.

2nd UPDATE: Now when you try to find a birthplace or location of death, the page locks up. How convenient!! Fire the Programmers!!!!!
