I used this app for years with no problem, but after I updated to Android 14 it Kept crashing most of the time or didn't update without force stopping the app and reopening it. I appreciate it if you could solve it and update this app

It's excellent. Could you make it update the DNSs for when it's connected to a VPN . VPN DNS servers don't show up...

Good app with plenty of option to personalize. Does have a tendency to display the wrong city and country for the VPN exit point

Huuuuuuge battery hog. Battery life went from several days to just a half day until I uninstalled this app.

I am in an environment with multiple Wi-Fi networks which serve different needs / systems. So I often need to verify which network I'm currently on. This widget worked well for a few days, then it started crashing and eventually lost the ability to display the SSIDs. Within a week ot had become useless.
