Removing songs from playlist is badly bugged

Need to vent on how broken the android app functionality is. Had to log in and edit via PC to get results.

Tried removing songs on phone from a playlist by doing swipe + delete -- UI showed them to be removed. However, playlist would still pull up these "ghost" songs when played on shuffle.

Closing app and clearing its cache did not resolve issue -- UI still showed songs as having been removed, but they'd still play on shuffle.

Closing app, clearing cache, deleting data, and logging in did not resolve issue. After all this, playlist UI actually still featured the "removed" songs. Which I guess showed the true state of the thing, so at least it didn't lie to me this time? But now swiping on a song did not function at all, and I had no option to remove it whatsoever.

It took logging in via PC and editing the playlist there for the changes to (instantly) propagate down to the app. Editing playlist state via app feels completely broken, both frontend and backend.
