won’t let me create an account

filled out the “sign up” page like a billion times, deleted and redownloaded the app to retry. Once I fill everything in to create an account and try to go to the next page, I click the button and a little loading symbol pops up then absolutely nothing happens. No errors or feedback of any sort. There’s options to sign in with Apple/Facebook/Google, but no option to sign up with any of those. Tried to go to their webpage and make an account there to then just log in on the app and it just directs me to get the app, no option to sign in/up on the mobile webpage.

Love but having problems

I really love this app but about a week ago I was logged out for some reason. When I try to log back in with my google account I just get a loading screen and then nothing happens. This is the only way I know to get a hold of the developers and I’m hoping they can help me
