Mobile App game auto start problem

Today I opened the Lichess mobile app for Android.
I wanted to play "5+3" but clicked "1+0" by mistake. The system gave me an 1+0 game taht I didn't want to play at all. I apologized to my opponent and abandoned it.

After that I returned to homepage and wanted to start a daily 5+3 game. But WITHOUT I clicked anything and before I could do anything, I was sent to another 1+0 game again. I abandoned it again. And after I abandoned and returned the systrm immediately sent me into another 1+0 game again and I abandoned again and that becomes a loop. I cannot stop that loop at all-that was done automatically by the app.
Finally I had to force shut down the app and cancel all these loops.

I feel sorry to the many opponents in 1+0 games I abandoned. But that must be a bug. If I abandoned a game that must mean I dont want to play it any more, so why am I continue to be sent into it again and again...hope to get some explanation and solution.
Abandon an 1+0 game-auto return to homepage-auto search and send me into another 1+0 game-abandon the game again. that loop is the problem.

I did nothing in that loop. 100% sure never clicked "1+0"again. Later I tried to quit/clicked "homepage" manually, but neither break that loop.
Hello LouisXXIV,
i only can recommend You not to use the app. Join into the lichess.org site over a browser or searching machine. You will be surprised to find much more functions and features like simuls and so on. By the way, did You restart Your smartphone or tablet ?

Thank you. I not playing on my laptop because my desk is too small for a set of keyboard and mouse-and playing on laptop without mouse is tiring...
I do take your advice and will try play on browser as much as possible in the future.

I didn't restart my smartphone. I just force stop the app running and restart it and it went well.

This is an very occasional bug and only happened 2 or 3 times since I installed the app. All happened when I abandoned the first match of a day that I actually clicked wrong time control and didn't want to play that time control against humans. All could be solved by force restart app, but not normal quit, click homepage, etc. But this thing just contimue happen rarely and occasionally...you are right I should use web page more.
