Hi! Thanks for reaching out about the Boycat app crashing when you scan items. I want to help you get this sorted. To start, could you tell me a bit more about the crash? For example:
- Does the app shut down immediately after scanning, or does it freeze or show an error message? - Is the crash happening with all items you scan, or just certain ones? - Have you noticed if this started after a specific app update or phone system change?
Also, when you say you're unsure if the items are ethical or not, are you expecting the app to provide clear ethical information after scanning? Knowing a bit more will help me guide you better.
In the meantime, here’s what I recommend trying first on your Android 10 device with WebKit browser:
1. Restart the app and your device: Close the Boycat app completely from recent apps, then restart your phone. This can clear temporary glitches. 2. Check for app updates: Ensuring you have the latest Boycat version can fix known bugs, including scan-related crashes. 3. Clear the app cache: - Go to Settings > Apps > Boycat - Tap on Storage - Select Clear Cache (not clear data, to avoid losing settings) 4. Try scanning in good lighting and ensure the barcode is not damaged; sometimes scanning issues cause the app to behave unexpectedly.
If the issue still persists after these steps, we could explore: - Checking if the app has permissions enabled (camera access is essential for scanning). - Seeing if other apps on your device have similar scan or crash issues. - Testing the app on a different network (Wi-Fi vs. mobile data) in case connectivity impacts its performance.
Regarding ethical info, Boycat is designed to identify products linked to ethical concerns as part of its mission. If it crashes before showing this info, resolving the crash is key.
Please let me know what you observe after these steps, especially about any patterns with the crash or error messages. That way, I can assist you more precisely!
