For what it's worth I was having exactly the same experience as you on my Pixel 1. But a few weeks ago I upgraded to the latest pixel and the app works great now. I suspect that the app is just so heavy and bloated that it performs really poorly on older phones. Not that there's any excuse for that. All it should be doing is displaying some text so you'd think it would be pretty lightweight.
