Hi there! Thanks for reaching out. To check on the HiNative app status for October 2023, especially regarding an outage since yesterday afternoon, I looked into recent information.

Currently, there are no official announcements or widespread reports indicating a HiNative app outage since yesterday. The app appears to be functioning normally based on available data and user feedback. However, there was a known issue in the past with sign-in suspensions via Twitter accounts and some users experienced app crashes related to Android WebView, but those were addressed earlier and don’t seem connected to your recent concern7 10.

Could you share more details about what exactly you’re experiencing? For example:
- Are you unable to open the app entirely?
- Is it stuck loading or showing error messages?
- Does the problem happen on Wi-Fi, mobile data, or both?

This info will help me guide you to fix it or confirm if it’s on HiNative’s side.

I'm on fast wifi. When I try to open the app, the owl icon displays, but then gets stuck there.

Thanks for sharing that detail about the owl icon getting stuck despite your fast Wi-Fi. That helps a lot!

Here’s a step-by-step approach to try to resolve the HiNative app loading issue on your Android 10 device with WebKit browser environment:

1. Force Close the App and Restart
- Go to your device's Settings > Apps > HiNative.
- Tap “Force Stop” to close it completely.
- Reopen the app to see if it loads past the owl icon.

2. Clear App Cache and Data
- In the same Apps settings for HiNative, tap “Storage.”
- Clear the cache first, then try launching the app again.
- If it still gets stuck, clear the app data (note: this will reset app settings and require signing in again).

3. Check for App Updates
- Open Google Play Store, search for HiNative, and see if there’s an update available.
- If so, update the app, then try opening it again.

4. Restart Your Device
- Sometimes a simple reboot clears temporary glitches affecting apps.

5. Check Network Settings
- Even if Wi-Fi is fast, verify no VPNs or firewalls are interfering.
- Try switching temporarily to mobile data to test if the app loads.

6. Reinstall the App
- Uninstall HiNative completely and reinstall it from Google Play Store.
- This can fix corrupted app installations.

If you’ve already tried these steps, please let me know so I can help investigate deeper options like checking for WebView updates or account-specific problems.

Does this help with your app loading problem so far?
