Mobile app hangs on "checking for content updates"

So I’ve been using the mobile app for a few weeks now and had no problems other than a few sync issues early on.

However, today I have been unable to get past the loading screen. It gets to &quotchecking for content updates&quot and then simply sits there indefinitely.

Anyone else experiencing this issue? Any ideas on fixing it?

You can report bugs with the mobile app to mobilesupport@failbettergames.com, and they’ll be able to provide support!

I have the same issue at the moment.

Also people on Reddit seem to have same concerns: https://www.reddit.com/r/fallenlondon/comments/59laxh/cant_play_stuck_on_checking_for_content_updates/

Works for me now.

[color=#cc0099]Due to high volumes of player activity last night some users experienced loading hangs with the app. We’ve made a tweak to improve it already and will continue to monitor the situation. Thank you for your patience delicious friends! Your Hallowmas spirit is strong.[/color]
