Im using this app on an android tablet to used to monitor my Aquarium. I love the app and the simplicity of it. However, my problem I’m experiencing is the app will crash at some point during the day and close out. I’ll restart it and then it will crash once again randomly throughout the day. Any fix for this? Thank You

The SwitchBot app crashes any time I try to pair it. With the hub or the temperature gauges.

App will not let me log in. Keeps giving errors but I can log in through a browser with my same login information. Already reinstalled the app and did the update.
