Maybe I'm optimistic, but I find it unlikely that someone went to the time to build this app, maintained it for the last eight years, and thousands of people went to the trouble to find it, install it, and leave a review, all without anyone contacting apple about their problem.
Edit: Apple was well aware of this issue (or a similar one), 12 years ago: https://web.archive.org/web/20221205223648/https://support.a...
Their response? "deal with it"
