very unstable and incredibly slow

Nah.
The mixnet mode is a lot slower, but if you understand what a mixnet is and how it operates, that is not a surprise - you're trading speed for anonymity.
The fast mode uses two hops and is actually faster than most multihop VPNs I've ever tried.
You should check out safing.io SPN if you haven't 🤙
I use it sometimes on desktop, but nym has better tech imo (the network itself, safing's desktop app is much more polished than nym)
Also, unfortunately for Android there is only a very old & unmaintained app.
Maybe now that IVPN acquired them, the Android app will see some love.
Both are really cool projects, that's for sure.
