I had the same issue. I posted also on this and I believe there are several posts which Microsoft completely ignore.
It's clearly a problem with the version in Google Play - so Microsoft, it's a simple fix, why you ignore so many users.
Until Microsoft decides to address the issue and respect us, if you still want to use this product, the solution is what others said - install an older version of apk. What worked for me was to use the app from Samsung's Galaxy Store ; it worked even after upgrading the app afterwards from Play Store.
However, because of Microsoft 's attitude to ignore so many users, I switched to Samsung Notes, which have the same functionalities, works flawless and looks a lot better on Amdroid.
