@MeganB On an outside matter, since the last update, when I click on links, the app closes. :person_shrugging: I’ve put several links above but they all close instead of leading to the websites. Thanks lovely.

Interesting… :thinking: I just tested this out on my device and it did the same thing. I’m going to do the usual troubleshooting on my phone. Have you done the same for your device?

Okay, I force stopped the app and cleared the cache, then tried again and actually got a pop-up message from my phone.

Now, I will try uninstalling & reinstalling the app.

Nope, same issue. Interestingly, even after uninstalling the app and reinstalling it, my data was saved. I didn’t have to login or anything.

@Francisco – I’m not sure what other troubleshooting to try here, and my settings haven’t changed.

It only did this after the update. Everything else on the app works fine. I only use my phone. :grin:

I have an android samsung galaxy note 20 and im having the same problem. I was trying to use the link for the goddess quiz that i think jayne posted and it keeps closing out spells 8 app. I did all the troubleshooting. Clean cache and uninstall and reinstall also.

UPDATE: The Android issue with the app crashing when opening links (like printables or external sites) is fixed!

The new version of the Spells8 app is live on the Google Play Store. For most people, the app will update automatically overnight. If not, you can update it manually in the Play Store.

Thanks so much to everyone who reported it and shared details!

It’s definitely a bug in the latest update of the app :sweat_smile: The good news is that I’m already working on a fix, and I expect to have it solved early this week.

Everything else in the app should still be working fine, and as carrianne mentioned, we can always use the website if needed. I’ll post an update as soon as the new version is ready.

PS: if you notice any other funky behavior, please let me know!
