Description
🎯 The objective
While we will likely find a large-scale refactor of notifications necessary to bring the features and fixes users want, there are a few bugs that are large enough to demand immediate attention and should be fixed before starting a much larger project. These also include bugs that are regressions, introduced in more recent updates, as well as even longstanding bugs that are causing a dramatic decrease in our rating on Google Play.
