This is not a new phenomenon. As early as the late nineteen sixties, people were debating the so-called software crisis and arguing how to improve the perceived lack of quality.

The simple answer is that a lot of software is simply good enough. It's doesn't have to be perfect under all circumstances. And making it much better than good enough has diminishing returns because it requires non trivial investments in quality.

In this case, you pushed an app out of its comfort zone and ran into some issues. Simple suggestion, use something more suitable for what you are trying to do and accept that this maybe isn't what this specific thing was designed to do or even do well.
