On iOS mobile app, editing a line of text is slow and onscreen keyboard reloads each time

Steps to reproduce

Using the latest iOS app on iPhone or iPad, tap in a (existing) line of text and try to edit it. When you tap on a different line, it takes about 6 seconds for you to be able to type a character (about 3 seconds until the insertion point appears and then 3 more seconds before I can type). I see the online keyboard flashing as if it is being redrawn or reloaded.

Expected result

What do you expect to see after carrying out the steps above?

When I edit an outline with exactly the same entries using a different iOS outliner (CarbonFin Outliner), it takes only about a half second to be able to start editing a new line, so it is about 10 times faster than the same action in Dynalist. With CarbonFin, it does not flash/reload the keyboard when I tap to edit a different line. Try CarbonFin and you will see what I mean (of course CarbonFin has been on iOS for 10 years and has had time to mature and become polished). Overall Dynalist has a lot more features than CarbonFin, but Dynalist is just too sluggish on mobile at this time. Iā€™m guessing that maybe you are reloading the keyboard unnecessarily and that is slowing things down.

Actual result

Instead of the expected result, what happened?

When you tap on a different (existing) line, it takes about 6 seconds for you to be able to type a character (about 3 seconds until the insertion point appears and then 3 more seconds before I can type). I see the online keyboard flashing as if it is being redrawn or reloaded.

It is even slower if I use a non-default onscreen keyboard (not Appleā€™s).

There are some bugs in Dynalist if a 3rd party onscreen iOS keyboard is larger than Appleā€™s default keyboard, the insertion point often ends up on top of the keyboard in this case.

Also on iOS, when I scroll the insertion point I-beam doesnā€™t stay with the text it is associated with, it just hovers somewhere on the screen.

Environment

iOS latest version of Dynalist (on iPhone or iPad).

Additional comments

I would really like to move away from CarbonFin Outliner on iOS and eventually use only Dynalist for all my lists because of Dynalistā€™s support of tags. Unfortunately, Dynalist is too slow on iOS to make it practical if I need to edit the outline, and the keyboard reloading makes it unpleasant. Dynalist works perfectly on the desktop/web, I donā€™t have any performance issues there and it is very snappy.
