❌ If clearing the cache doesn't solve the network errors, the problem may be that your own internet service provider is blocking the app to function properly.

To make sure it's your ISP that is blocking your connection to the app, try using the app with your mobile data instead of your wifi network. If the app works properly with mobile data, this means your ISP is blocking the app.

👉 To solve this issue, you will have to report our URLs to your ISP as being wrongly blocked:
