My comment will be so contradictory to the replies you have got but bare with me. I started Bleach like an year ago due to the TYBW hype. But now that I have completed Bleach, I don't want to watch more of it. Personally I feel Bleach should've ended at the Aizen Arc. Everything after seemed so pointless and a drag on.
Aizen arc too wasn't that great imo. So much lag and I had to skip few canon episodes because how dragged the story is. Story was so uninteresting to the point where I asked my friends for spoilers to encourage me to complete the Aizen arc. Bleach is a really bad anime in my book and I shouldn't have picked this one first, of the 2000's Big 3.
I use Connect too and I consider myself as bit of a power user(have 6 clients installed my phone). Connect has all the features or even more than any other client. The horizontal swipe to navigate the posts is my favourite and probably only client that has this feature.
