Snapbridge - issues and improvements?

Since Nikon is constantly updating their camera firmware, I’m curious whether they’ll do the same for this app.
I’ve been testing it for a few days with my first camera, and a few things feel frustrating from a user’s perspective:
1. Camera preview rotation - I can’t rotate the camera preview on my smartphone when switching the camera to portrait mode. The phone stays in portrait, the viewport stays landscape, and the preview ends up rotated. When I rotate my phone, it rotates even further - so I can’t catch up 🫣😂
2. Shutter button size - There’s no way to customize or enlarge the shutter button. It’s quite small and very close to my Home button, so a few times I accidentally exited the app. Which leads to issue #3.
3. Connection loss - Once I leave the app, the connection is lost. I then have to go back to the camera and re-establish the Wi-Fi AP connection. I haven’t explored this fully yet, so it might be a setting-related issue - but it feels like it isn’t.
Do you guys find some issues or features that you'd like to see? 🤔
