It’s fun but…

I love this app and used to have it on my android to see my Splatoon 3 stats. But ever since I’ve switched to my iPhone, it just freezes on the loading screen and I can’t do anything. I can go and see stuff for the games I don’t have though.

Really why can’t you use Nintendo one for Zelda notes and how do you do everything else I can’t even get into super smash bros cos apparently I need Nintendo online which I don’t have and like it’s useless
