Hi! I understand your Glose app won't play after finishing a section, and you’ve already tried all the usual troubleshooting steps. Let’s dig a bit more into this to get you back on track.

Just to clarify a couple of things first:
- When you say the app “won’t play,” do you mean an audiobook or something else?
- Does the app freeze, or is it just not progressing beyond the section you finished?
- Have you tried closing and reopening the app or logging out and back in after that?

Since you’re on an Android device with WebKit, here’s a step-by-step you can try next, if you haven’t yet:

1. Force Close the App: Go to your device’s Settings > Apps > Glose > Force Stop, then reopen it.
2. Clear Cache (Not Data): Still in Apps settings, choose Storage and clear the cache. This removes temporary files without deleting your account info or downloads.
3. Check Internet Connection: Sometimes the app needs a solid network to sync progress. Try switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data.
4. Re-login and Sync: Log out from the app, close it, then log back in and let the app resync your reading progress.
5. Update the App or Browser: Since you’re using WebKit on Android 10, ensure your system browser or app is up to date via the Google Play Store.
6. Restart Your Device: Give your phone a quick reboot to clear any temporary glitches.

If you have already done all of the above and the issue still persists, the problem might be related to your current book or app version glitching on section advancement. Some users have reported issues where the app won’t advance past a chapter or section; sometimes switching to a different book and then back can help "reset" the reading flow.

Let me know if you want to try these or if you already have. I’m here to help you through it!

I did all those things. Now it won't let me sign in when I reinstalled

Thanks for letting me know you’re now facing a sign-in issue after reinstalling the Glose app. Let’s work through this together.

To start, can you tell me what happens exactly when you try to sign in? For example:
- Do you get an error message? If yes, what does it say?
- Are you unable to enter your password or email at all?
- Does the app just freeze or stay on the login screen?

In the meantime, here are a few focused steps you can try, tailored for your Android 10 WebKit environment:

1. Verify Email and Password: Sometimes, after reinstalling, a mistyped password or autofill can cause problems. Try typing your credentials manually. If you suspect the password might be off, use the "Forgot password?" option on the login screen to reset it. This resets your Glose account password securely5.

2. Check Network Connectivity: Make sure your device is connected to a stable Wi-Fi or cellular network since sign-in requires internet access.

3. Clear Browser Data for WebKit: Since your device uses WebKit, clearing cookies and cache for your system browser may help if the app relies on it for authentication.

- Go to your device’s Settings > Apps > Browser (usually named Chrome or WebKit-based browser) > Storage > Clear Cache and Clear Data.

4. Try Signing in from the Website: Visit https://glose.com/login from your mobile browser to verify if your credentials work outside the app. If you can sign in there, the account credentials are fine and the issue is app-related.

5. Ensure App Permissions: Check that the Glose app has all necessary permissions enabled—especially storage and network access.

If none of these resolve the issue, the problem could be a temporary server-side glitch or account lockout. In that case, I recommend emailing [email protected] with your account details so the support team can investigate further on their end.

Let me know how these steps go or if you see any specific error messages. I’m here to help! Are you satisfied with the solution I provided so far?

I did all those things. The browser won't work either. It just has the feather bouncing up and down. I use a password manager so the password is correct but I tried the 'forgot password' earlier and it just says 'oops, something went wrong'

Thanks for sharing those details. Since both the app and browser login pages are stuck on the bouncing feather and password reset gives an "oops, something went wrong" error, it sounds like there might be a temporary problem on the Glose server side affecting authentication and password resets.

Given your password is correct — as verified by the password manager — and you’ve already tried resetting it with no luck, this is likely not an issue on your device.

Here's what I recommend next:

1. Wait and Retry After Some Time: Server-side issues like this often get resolved by the Glose team fairly quickly. Try logging in again after 30 minutes to an hour.

2. Check Glose's Social Media or Status Page: Sometimes they post announcements about outages or maintenance that might affect login.

3. Contact Glose Support Directly: Since this seems like a backend problem, send a detailed email to [email protected] explaining your situation, including:
- The stuck feather on login screen on both app and browser
- The "oops, something went wrong" error during password reset
- Your device and OS information (Android 10, WebKit browser)

They will be able to escalate or provide insight on any ongoing issues impacting the service.

I’ll keep monitoring for updates on this as well. Let me know if you want me to assist you with composing the support email or anything else in the meantime. Are you satisfied with this next step?

Would be great to get help with the email. I just wanted to listen while I was running.

Got it! I’ll help you draft a clear and polite email to Glose support explaining your situation so they can assist you quickly. Here’s a suggestion you can use or customize:

Subject: Unable to Sign In and Reset Password – Need Help to Listen While Running

Hello Glose Support Team,

I hope you’re well. I’m reaching out because I’m currently unable to sign in to the Glose app or website. After reinstalling the app on my Android 10 device (using a WebKit-based browser), the login screen just shows a bouncing feather and doesn’t proceed. When I try to reset my password, I receive an “oops, something went wrong” error.

I use a password manager, so I’m sure my credentials are correct. I’ve also tried clearing cache, reinstalling the app, and signing in via the browser, but the issue persists.

I primarily use Glose to listen to audiobooks while running, and I’m looking forward to getting back to this feature.

Could you please help me resolve this issue as soon as possible or let me know if there is a known server-side problem?

Thank you for your assistance!

Best regards,
[Your Name]
[Your Glose account email]

Would you like me to help you further personalize this or guide you on sending it? Also, if you want, I can explain how to use the text-to-speech feature in the app for your runs once you’re able to log back in1.

Are you satisfied with this draft?
