Unfortunately I do not have my settings exported, so I don’t really have anything to work with. Do you think I should re-install?
If it’s not too much of a hassle, try reinstalling and see if that fixes the issue! Thanks!
Just an update on this, the issue has been found and I’m working on a quick hotfix for this issue. If you’d like to track the issue, check it out here: https://github.com/thunder-app/thunder/issues/1123
That was fast! Thanks for looking into it. I haven’t had the chance to re-install yet, so I might just wait for the hotfix.
A hotfix should now be available on TestFlight! Let me know if that version works
It works now! Glad I didn’t re-install yet. I’ll definitely export my settings now. Thanks!
