So there are some amazing trade-in deals on the Pixel 7, so I've finally upgraded my Pixel XL Android 10 to a Pixel 7 running Android 13.
I was wondering if there is a consensus on what older version of CC is best with newer Android?

I remember having issues with the Play Store copy, so used a saved copy 5.4.4.1 (392) from my Pixel XL.
It does seem to work fine except for it not using about 1/5th of the screen leaving an empty area blank area at the bottom.

Does any other version of CC work better with Android 13?
I know the gap is not because of the tall aspect ratio since I don't see a bottom gap on a MotoG Play running Android 11 once I turned on the "Full Screen" option. I believe it's CC trying to compensate for the camera notch gap.

Unfortunately I don't see a "Full Screen" option on Pixel 7 Android 13.

As for performance, the downloading of a large library got slower and slower even with the recommended filename mask.
It didn't help that the Pixel 7 kept closing CC after I wasn't there to click on "Wait" when CC was busy, so I had to keep restarting the download all.
Once my entire library was downloaded it's very responsive, quite nice.

I'm still thankful that CC is 64bit, I had to give up several favorite apps that are 32bit only since Pixel 7 doesn't support 32bit.
