When using the menu on the top bar, apps reliably are resized to whichever part of the screen I choose.

I’ve had continuous problems with this app since installing it. Don't drive yourself crazy, just click Help when something is wrong. The best solution to a simple problem often IS the simplest solution. I'm back to having the full, awesome functionality of Magnet in less time than it took to manually position 3 -4 windows the hard way like I've been doing for a month. It took all of 30 seconds to fix, most of which time was spent entering my password in System Preferences to unlock modifications to my Accessibility settings.

If this happened to you too, there is a very simple fix that should have been the obvious first troubleshooting step, but took me a ridiculously long 5 weeks to discover and try: click the 'Help' option in the Magnet app and follow the very simple instructions in the front page FAQ covering this issue. After upgrading to PC Big Sur, I lost the 'Snap windows by dragging' functionality and manually setting every window through the clicking the Magnet icon in the taskbar and selecting from the drop down menu was really inefficient.
