2. click on Android app
3. click on the GET IT ON Google Play Button

• the google play site should load for ~2 seconds, but then the site (not yet the app) crashes
• the screen should now contain the message Oops, failed to connect to DeepL server with a reload button below and a Toast message shows net::ERR_UNKNOWN_URL_SCHEME

4. Leave the app, e.g. by clicking your home or overview button

• the app should now crash

possible cause

the toast message suggests, that the google play site tries to open a URL with an unknown protocol, probably something that tries to open the play store app. The webview doesn't know how to handle the URL and crashes, deepl crashes because the webview is now null.

Thus the crash may only occur on devices without the Google Play Store (like mine).
