Are you seeing the "attempting to connect to server" loading indicator when you first open the app?

Are you connecting over a local network? I'm just curious if this is a latency issue. I haven't looked into this in detail yet.

I am using the app connecting to my server via a URL and not the internal IP, so no, it would not be over a local network. I am sitting on the same network with my wifi connections but not connecting directly to the server IP.

changing it to local IP and using it on the wireless, it works every time. I went back to public URL and it fails until I select a different tab, must have something to do with latency as you said????

It may have to do with your server rejecting the request. If it works with the local ip address it suggests that this isn't an issue with the app so unless we can get more information I'm not sure what can be done
