Sharing for awareness.
Recently one of my Apps became unstable. It would take a while to load, from white screen through loading sequence to an App page. After a few seconds, it would crash and repeat the loading process… sometimes lasting a little longer before resetting. At first I thought Glide must be doing maintenance. I wondered if the image heavy lists in the App were causing issues displays, but noted that the PC version of the app worked fine. I also toggled between 5G and WIFI. Nothing.
I deleted all the browser history in the hope that cookies were causing confusion. In the end I realized my iCloud storage was 98% full. I deleted lots of videos on the device and reduced the storage to 60%. Happy to find that the Glide app worked perfectly again…
So if you find your Apps running slowly with repeated reload issues, it might be device memory.

I had a very similar issue with one of my Apps some months ago. The constant reloading was so bad that the App was basically unusable.
In my case I escalated to Glide Support, and after a bit of back and forth it was eventually determined that the issue was related to Content & Privacy restrictions on the iPhone. In the end, the fix was to simply disable that setting and re-install the App.

Interestingly I had the same issue reappear today with a different App. Needless to say I checked my storage memory on my iPhone but this time I had huge free space. So I cleared the browser history and deleted more apps taking memory and removed videos from my Photos app. But nothing worked.
Then I remembered I had changed the privacy settings on my App. I had created a new ‘helper table’ that controlled who was allowed to login based on emails being in the Glide table versus the Users table I had used previously. I wondered if the home screen icon was causing issues with old login rights. So I deleted it and reinstalled the home screen icon. It worked instantly, solving the continuous reset issues.
So maybe there are a couple of causes for this type of issue. My advice, try freeing up memory and reinstalling your home screen icon.
