While it is always good to see an update, I am sorry to report that this update does not fix the performance issues.
The app continues to be painfully slow on iOS.
Let me know if you need any help testing the app performance. I'm glad to help out.
Also, it stopped working on my secondary iOS 9 iPad. While the update was available for it, launching the app brings just a empty white screen.
Waiting patiently for the next release.
