I actually don't currently have issues with Primal on Android. Everything seems fast for me. I can't complain to be honest. In the past, sometime earlier this year, it was very slow and unusable for me. Since then, Primal's been killing it, improving speed and performance. (I just tested now and it is fast.)
If it were me, I'd nuke local cache and check to see what relays I'm using. Somewhere around a 10-12 is a good number. Maybe less for you, maybe more for you.
And if it's still performing badly, I'd let nostr:nprofile1qqsdv8emcke7k3qqaldwv956tstu40ejg663gdsaayuuujs6pknw7jspp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmqpzfmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2uc86mqq0 know as he recently mentioned users letting him know if they're still seeing performance issues.
Look okay?

If it were me, I'd remove those two red ones.
Ty!
How does someone decide what relays to use or to optimize?
I have a shitpost about this from a year and a half ago and honestly it's not all that much better.
That said, some things have changed. You can now use WoT (Web of Trust) relays and some clients will also show you relays that your contacts are using.
But in the end it shouldn't matter as we all move to clients that support the Outbox model. You should be able to use any relay that you want and change often.
It was my daily driver and now I can’t get profiles to load, I like the ux the most for primal so far, I don’t like the content it serves me.
Damus is daily driver now.
I think primal is important for onboarding because of the native wallet.
I wish it didn’t have you auto follow 100 Nostr elite and instead let you click some dvms or pics that would follow certain hashtags.
Most people I try and purple pill aren’t bitcoiners and they probably don’t wanna see all that.
Might want the #catstr and #bloomstr from the get go.
It is only portrait mode .. works great for the Android phones but unworkable on Tabs if you hook a cover and keyboard ..
but would a paid relay fix this ?
i don't believe so, no. i don't think your issue lies with a paid versus a free relay.
