Is App not the culprit: Other reasons

No data connectivity from your ISP
A bug in the app, check for an app update in the Play Store
Permission conflicts
Wrong permissions set
Low connectivity from your cellular provider
Hardware issue with your mobile network chip
Botched app installation like loss of power during the installation process

If no solution works

You can always try deleting and reinstalling the app again from the Play Store. This will get rid of any bugs and give you a fresh installation to work with.

Note: You will have to sign-in to the app again and any downloaded files inside the app will need to be downloaded again. Although, this does not include downloaded attachments that are stored on your local storage.
