### 1/5 — Does Not Work

*2024-01-29*

You can close and reopen, delete and remove saved data, and redownload the new version as much as you want — this app doesn’t work. Disappointment.

### 1/5 — Trapped in a Cycle of Hope and Despair: The Broken Promises of the Eflux App

*2023-10-17*

Even after shutting it down and starting it up again, rebooting my phone, and reinstalling the app, it just fails to function. Each attempt to launch the app greets me with nothing but an empty display. Occasionally, fortune teases me with a brief glimmer, a fleeting white screen bearing the eflux emblem, only for it to revert to the desolate blackness, leaving my optimism nearly extinguished.

### 1/5 — Still naught

*2023-08-04*

After reinstalling: e-flux appears momentarily in black characters on white to be negated by ubiquitous black w/ persistent white end of page bar. Will a relaunch be announced or has this app reached an inescapable nadir?

### 1/5 — App no longer works

*2017-03-22*

The app no longer shows the journals or the news on iPads. One can only assume that this app hasn't been updated recently (if at all), and its functionality has been reduced to zero, rendering it useless.

### 1/5 — bugged

*2016-06-20*

### 1/5 — App Doesn’t Work

*2025-10-23*

Unfortunately this app doesn’t work. It gives a ‘network issues’ error when there is none. A few of the pages from the menu (‘film’, ‘notes’) do seem to load, but the majority of the content is inaccessible. It’s too bad as it would be nice to read e-flux en app.

### 1/5 — still black screen

*2025-10-16*

no other than black screen!!

### 1/5 — Does nothing

*2025-08-04*

It’s not functional. It says it’s offline if you are on cellular or wifi.

### 1/5 — Blank

*2025-06-17*

The app never works. It's just a blank black background.

### 1/5 — App Not Working

*2025-05-31*

Downloaded the app this past January and haven’t seen it work yet. Every time the app is opened there’s just a black screen - downloaded from the Canadian App Store, wondering if this is happening for anyone else

### 1/5 — app doesn’t work?

*2025-03-07*

This is the third time that I’ve tried to download the app, and every time I am just met with a black screen. I’m quite confused because the app had been updated recently… is it just me who has this issue?

### 1/5 — Black Screen on Ipad

*2025-01-11*

Please fix - it only shows black screen on Ipad

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2024-09-11*

Black screen, nothing more

### 1/5 — Black screen

*2024-07-23*

Black screen at launch

### 1/5 — App doesn’t function

*2024-03-14*

Came here to install E-flux to enjoy reading some content outside of my mobile browser. 

Was excited to see E-Flux has its own app. 

Was disappointed to discover the app doesn’t work. It starts and then the screen goes black. 

I’m not entirely sure this isn’t app performance art. Regardless, nothing can be read. 

Sadness.

I really want this app to work. But it has not worked for me yet. I tend to read for enjoyment on my phone and i love e-flux content.  But sadly, app does not work at all.

### 2/5 — I'd like to like it but...

*2012-10-19*

Having problem with downloading issue #38, #13, #10, and #3. I tried everything quitting the app and relaunching it and uninstalling the app and reinstalling it. It didn't solved the problem.
