Performance is SO slow, is this normal (video)?

I created, what I believe, a quite simple mobile, but the published, native Android and IOS app is SO slow. Check this video of my 3 most ‘heavy’ screens;

When I click a back button (action = linking back) it takes 2 seconds for the front-end to even show a loading a spinner and an additional 3 seconds to actually go back. This is the case on all screens/buttons.

Raised a support ticket but got the standard answer with links to their Docs for performance.
The lagging UI feedback, seems weird that be a performance issue on my side?
Additionally, the app became way slower since December (all the performance updates?).

Extra context;

  • 25 database collections, perhaps 5 properties are many to many relationships
  • There’s 4-is custom lists, all the rest is native
  • I currently have perhaps a total 20 records in my database
  • Image sizes are optimized
  • Mobile shares database with another, separate desktop app
  • It’s bad on 3 different devices, with different OS
  • In the staging preview it goes way faster

Most likely, Is it me or is it Adalo?

It’s my personal opinion - I don’t see any heavy screens. App is too slow. Looks like broken. It’s just images. Like button works really bad and again it’s connected with DB power. In my opinion all problems are in the power of DB. From my exp - heavy screans must include video player or youTube. In few words media. Like I see - you really doing what u can and have no doubts that your DB are optimized. So which DB you are using Adalo or Xano? Can be and there are other reasons of slow work, but probably biggest problems are in DB power.

In my experience, the pwa apps work much, much faster than the native one in the case of adalo. I would say even 3 times

I suggest you contact adalo, they helped me amazingly
