I’m am convinced that my app is too involved for the Thunkable platform. There should really be some communication from Thunkable on app limitations rather than having people pay for a Pro license on a half-baked offering, investing time creating screens, find out that the platform can’t handle very much on one screen, invest even more time in redoing multiple screens (because there is no copy functionality) and then come to realize all the time and money has been wasted.

I found these references that show this issue has persisted for quite some time without being addressed. I hope future users see this before investing too much time in a complicated app. For simple functionality Thunkable is great…but for larger projects (“larger” is still pretty small in this case) I have to recommend people look elsewhere:

> Hey Alex and Paul, thank you @actech for pointing out the relation to WIFI. I can confirm that. That lead me to further testing with the result, that the compiling time is equivalent to the WIFI upload time @paulmw: This might be interesting for you (if you did not know yet slight_smile ) I checked two projects with different number of blocks and made 3 times a little dragging on a WHEN-block in the block-section: my large project with 700 blocks: obeyed compilation time about 13 seconds …

> @Arun_Nijhawan @Dennis I haven’t found a solution except I regrouped all the useless blocks into repeating functions which made it a bit better. I also noticed that when the screens are switching, it is better to have your items directly placed on the screen and not to add them after loading. Last I added a waiting icon for the time the screen loads. Hope it helps
