If you logged into the app in the last few weeks, you may have noticed a serious slow down in the time it takes to load in on the first try.
This release fixes this issue by reducing the number of textures that need to get fetched (and requests that get sent out). I've timed it on all of my devices and used 2 different networks and the initial load reliably takes about 10-15 seconds. After that it loads in in 2-4 seconds.
You'll also see a new loading progress message that shows you the ongoing progress with textures loading in. No more blank screen of unsure feelings/despair.
