Glitchy on my iPhone

For some reason the screen doesn't scroll on this app so I can't access the pause and end run buttons. It also shuts of automatically sometime and I can't mark the exercise as complete. Really good exercises tho

I love the app, the only problem is that my workouts do not get saved. At statistics I have a yellow ! Bubble and it saus not saved yet. Because of this i do not achieve medals either. The app didn t registrr that i gave feedback either.
Otherwise the workouts are very very good if uou would be able to fix the bugs it will be a 5*+
