No longer supported

The app wasn’t great, and we all know that, but at least students and teachers could check the leaderboard and such when using it from our phones. Now, even that function is gone, meaning we need to log on to a computer to be able to play or use it. In an age where everyone is on their phones, especially in high school, this is hugely inconvenient and will drop participation significantly. Sad.

Can't Even Open the App

Can't even open the app. Every time I open it just kicks me out. To make sure it wasn't my phone my friend also tried and he had the same problem. The web version still works though. Fix this please.
