The app is always lagging behind the web version too, it's just not worthy it.
What do you mean, the app is the web version now
If that's the case, why not just use webview, instead of packing a whole separate browser?
Obviously not aiming that at you op, but if someone has an insight on this, I'm curious.
Sorry, it was a while ago since I used the app version from the Store.
