Google sign in bug

Great app with one frustrating bug

I was excited to see an update to this app suggesting “2.x”. I hoped that the bug had been fixed, alas, no…

The frustrating bug is the app gets frequently gets stuck in the “Reconnecting” state which requires a force quit and relaunch. It is especially annoying when I am locked-in to a game, decide on my move, but cannot submit my move because “Reconnecting”.

This bug is a shame because otherwise this app is amazing! Great choices on what to include in the interface versus not.

Login doesn’t work

Has an issue where, when logging in, the app opens a small web browser window. It then allows login to OGS in that small browser, but it wont load the login to the actual app.

Makes me log in every time I open the app

The app is best used for correspondence games. I like OGS!

Note to dev: I deleted the app, and upon redownloading it and signing in I found that I was not able to access the same UI as before I deleted the app. It now is permanently on the “web version” of the app, and prompts me to log in every time I open the app.
