I just deleted the app and logged in on the browser. Worked so much easier this way. I made sure to save my password and user name for auto-login and then reinstalled the app. Whenever I want to open a link and not go to the app I hold the link and open it in a new tab and that keeps the app form opening it up.
This took me like so many hours to figure out a workaround. I use an iPhone FYI, idk if it makes a difference, but yeah.
