Description

The app is very slow and when I go to the reader, it crashes. There's also less block options when I make a new post. Apart from those issues, it's handy to have because I can make a quick blog post on my phone without having to go to my desk and type on my computer. It's convenient for when you want to make a blog post when you're out and about but that's all it's good for.

App version name: 16.4
Android version (SDK): Android 9 (SDK 28)

Research direction

Start by checking whether the Reader crash can still be reproduced on the reported Huawei HUAWEI Y6 Pro 2019 with Android 9, using app version 16.4. The report also mentions slowness and fewer block options, so separate which behavior is in scope before locating the relevant Android entry points. Done should include a confirmed scope and a reproducible fix for the selected issue.
