Comments about APRSdroid - APRS Client Android Version

I hadn't used this in a while, the last use was with the free version. That version stopped sending and receiving packets over TCP, despite all correct settings. So I uninstalled the free version, and paid for this new release. Same problems, no position reporting whatsoever. Nothing shown on the map. Nothing in the log. All required settings are correct. Bummer, it used to be great.
A good app! Bugs: 1: Long press a callsign in the message display and the box listing the options available gets smaller the closer to the top of the list the message is! 2: Says Google maps is not installed when I click on the Google map icon or the "directions to station" icon on the main map display. Don't know why it says that, I have Google Maps installed. 3: Setting custom notification sound for incoming messages doesn't work. Only plays the default sound (Samsung S21, Android 13).
I loved this app for well over a year but a few months ago the map stopped working and it crashes the program whenever I try to view the map. Only way I can view the map now is on aprs.fi which defeats having this app for viewing out of cell service range! Maybe it was an Android, T-Mobile, or Samsung S9 update, but it no longer works. Reinstalled phome, cleared caches, nothing helps. Would give a solid 5 and I've recommended the app to several who bought it. Fix it please!!
