Any updates on this issue? I am still having it and have noticed no improvement whatsoever.
It is deterring me from making observations, because the more observations I make, the more I have to continually re-open the app.
Until this is fixed, I will likely make few observations, choosing only to be very selective about stuff where I want something out of it (like a community ID) rather than trying to observe stuff for reporting’s sake, more or better photos, etc. And this makes me sad because I really like contributing to citizen science.
