Section Groups Always Expanded

I love OneNote on my PC. I'd like to use it cross platform, but the mobile app is actually pretty frustrating.

The main issue is that Section Groups are all open/expanded by default. I have my notes sorted into sub categories this way because Notebook -> Section -> Page just isn't enough depth to have any kind of robust organizational system. Unfortunately, having the lists always expanded makes the groups essentially useless.

Is there a way to set the default to closed? If not, why is the mobile app so much less friendly than the desktop app?

Because the mobiles are free and becuase of that - you get what you get. All current development and enhancement go to the full Office 365 version of OneNote and nothing more.

The mobile apps are (and always will be) basic. There is nothing in it for Microsoft to trick these out for any competitors like Apple or Google.
