Hey folks,
More than 2 months now have gone by and I am still happily on my old S2 app, all updates disabled.
Why? Because the new app with all its updates is sooooo useless, slow, laggy etc.
Here are some (very technical) explanations as to why it is so (not by me):

And here some suggestions on how to fix it (not by me):

Now the bad news: the fixes do not work … at least not for me.
I have an Asus AIMesh for years with some powerful routers interconnected.
Same Network/Subnet? Check. Check Wi-Fi Isolation? Check. Multicast/IGMP Settings. Check.
Never touched these, they were always enabled. But the whole system is still laggy (with the new app only). The first article mentions the chatty communnication via cloud in order to get your album infos etc. I have a very stable 1GB glasfiber connection ….
But maybe theses fixes can help some of you.
Can´t promote thes links enough, spread the word that there might be a fix.
