We understand you’re responding to this v 1.6.0 update thread but, just to be certain, would you double-check what version of our Android Mobile app your device is running?
My phone has upgraded to v 1.6.0. I don’t really notice any functional differences, but, yes, it does seem to be smoother. I especially notice this when scrolling in the program guide, both up and down, and also to future dates.
