Yes, @arjane. That is correct. I don't even bother using the esteem app anymore, because of that. I am only able to claim rewards with the app and that for me is not enough. I feel for the developers, who have put in so much effort to buld the esteem app. They should use this opportunity to fix the problem. Thanks for sharing.
You are right last release somewhat brought some bugs as it was much bigger release with number of fundamental changes. Rest assured fix is on the way and you should see release post in couple days! Sorry for inconvenience it may have caused!
