Cheers.
It does feel like shittification though doesn't it?
I'm cynically assuming it does it to extract some metrics to sell, rather than for any sort of useful process.

I think it's just bad development, they're probably doing a check to see if there's any internet connection available, if so load from there rather than starting with the offline version and updating it if there is internet.

Probably, but it just sounds like a shit implementation.
An app shouldn't block for lack/weak network access for a non-core feature. If it is metrics then the sending attempts can be done in a non-blocking way and can be cached locally until a proper network connection is available for upload.

It annoys me how you specifically choose to download an album, but if there's a smidgen of internet available it'll try and load the page and hang forever. Quickest way is to turn on airplane mode, open the album, then turn airplane mode off.
