Troubleshooting

When I start the app only a blank screen appears

You can fix this by deleting all data for app. Reinstalling the app is not enough, you have to delete all stored data related to the app. Sometimes I get this after update on my Phone Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro with Android 12.0

Debug message (Release):

open libmigui.so failed! dlopen - dlopen failed: library "libmigui.so" not found

Probably a Miui related error

Minimum Android version required: 7.0 (API level 24) On most Android versions the app works fine, with some exceptions:

The app functionality works fine.

Some issues with the looks:
