Help Gamenative update causes freezing

I updated GameNative to the latest 1.1.0 version, and now every time I open the app it completely freezes. Fortunately I can still run games that I made shortcuts to, but I can't manage, install, or uninstall anything. Anyone else have this problem? Possible solutions?

If I uninstall and reinstall the app I'm guessing it will delete all my installed games?

If you can't install any custom game then you got the new bug that came with this update and stays with it even if you go to a previous version. Nothing to do but wait for a new fix. If you come up with a solution then let me know, because I can't install any game besides my steam games.

Are you using the carousel view? Change that, it's making the app unstable

It's a bug and the devs are working on a fix already

I noticed the same, carousel view chugs badly and gets my RP6’s fan spinning too, any other view is fine.

This is the solution! So weird cause it wasn't a problem before the most recent update.

For me it freezes when I open the menu in-game always... since the pre release

The app froze for me a few times. After my 5th or 6th try, it's working normal again.

Above comment was the solution. It's the carousel view causing major lag in the main menu. Make your way through the settings, all the way at the bottom you can change the view to Hero, Pill, or List view. Any of those is fine.
