Really? I have the same ones and the app update is disappointing. Do you have a link to the open source version? Edit: a quick search brings up https://github.com/Oppzippy/OpenSCQ30

Yep, I think that's the one I downloaded. You can block network access in permissions, and just leave nearby devices on. And everything works. Even managing dual connections with toggles so you can have several pairing and decide which two to connect with.
