Why is the iOS companion app so bad at resuming

I estimate that approx 50% of the time I open (resume) the iOS app the following happens:

  • screen is stuck on one view.
  • tapping the back button seems to animate but nothing happens
  • pull down to refresh doesn’t do anything
  • I get a message like ‘the page could not be loaded’

Eventually I force close the app and everything starts again fine.

If resume cannot be handled reliably, it should trigger a force reload of the root view controller until it can be fixed.

Am I the only one with this problem?
