So I've only been testing the app for a few days now. But I am seeing a very unstable version after another. The system freezes. ok Facebook and messenger have issues running and starting, webview has a issue because I see the arrow on screen with every app. Finally , after I agreed to test with Google, almost immediately my phones movements or flow was off. IT doesn't feel right and certainly don't work right either

I enjoy using it, not sure what all the differences are between the regular and beta versions are, but I do enjoy being able to see the new updates and using the latest versions. Since upgrading my phone from Galaxy Note 10+ to the Galaxy S24 ultra I haven't had issues with updating the app and reinstalling, at the end I was unable to update on the note 10 and it would never install correctly. I haven't not seen that issue on the new phone

This app is very helpful with my confusing Google Chrome accounts. It makes everything run very smoothly. The only thing that drives me crazy is the passwords I don't think they're getting saved to the regular Chrome browser. Chrome is much more complex than it appears on the outside. Since I opened accounts on different devices and different browsers I find a number of complex issues HAUNTING me. If I could see specific identities for each contact and each browser that would simplify my life.
