So I have no idea if my plant is doing well or not. I feel like it is getting under watered but for the most part I am following the app. It definitely gets a bit dusty but I just wash it off when I water it

Give that baby a good watering, if it drains too quickly then bottom water it as the soil has become hydrophobic, that dude is begging for water 😂

Definitely agree that the soil might have become hydrophobic. You might want to consider repotting. I use Espoma’s Organic Cactus and Succulent Soil for all my jade plants.
