Freezes up

App freezes when you’re trying to accept terms. Mind you I was already in the app with my credentials. Third day and it hasn’t reset itself yet. A week later and still has not reset yet.

Hoping the issue can be resolved

I rarely write reviews, but I feel I have to write this one because I use this app very often. Unfortunately, it is very unstable. Especially after the recent update, every time I open a page it takes a long time to load, which makes it very inconvenient to use. I hope this issue can be resolved soon.
