Which app are you referring to, the Android or iPhone APP? Then I'm out, because years ago the app was very poor. It may be better now, but I switched to the controller software. It runs on a RaspPi for me, but it doesn't have to run 24/7 and can also run on a PC for setup. It is important to always work with only one device. The configuration is only stored there. If you switch to another device, you first have to restore the configuration backup, otherwise you have to start all over again. The controller software offers you everything (and much more) that the average user can imagine. Back then, I got familiar with it using IDomiX videos.
The Unifi devices are usually not the fastest in tests, because the design is more about stability and many users. With a wall, almost every device will have a drop in the 5GHz network.
