Suggestions for Ancestry App on Android

I've come across a variety of the problems that people are posting on this message board, and have a few of my own to add.

First, the app doesn't sync trees - it looks like EVERY time there is a change to my online tree, I have to re-download the entire tree to my device.

Second, the app stores all of the data it downloads onto my phone's internal memory, which is limited. I have a 128GB external memory card installed, but the app refuses to use it.

Third, the app shows duplicates of every photo/image I have for each person. (These duplicates do NOT appear on the desktop Ancestry.com site, nor do they appear in my FTM program; the duplicates only appear on the Android app.)

Fourth, it's just INCREDIBLY SLOW! I'm running a Samsung Galaxy S4, and a Galaxy Tab 3, neither of which is a slow piece of equipment, but this app just doesn't move very fast.
