    I have the Ferrari Chat Android app on my phone. I will occasionally get a notification that watched threads have new posts. When I tap on the notification, the app opens to a completely blank black screen. Just some of the tools appear at the top, but most of screen black & empty. If I open the app directly by tapping on the icon, it will open to the main page.

    Anyone else having this happen & is there a fix?

    I wasn't aware there was an app; is there a particular reason you don't just browse the mobile version of the site? It's quite excellent.

    The app is very easy to use & has a black background meaning no seared retinas at night when reading new posts.

    Well I see your signature line says you're using a Nexus 6. I use a Nexus 5 and I stopped getting updates long ago and some apps don't work as well with my Android version. Maybe that is the cause? I only use the chrome browser on my phone and not the app.

    The app somehow automatically created & inserts that signature line. I have nothing to do with it. Just go on Play Store & search for the app.

    It appears you are not using a "Ferrarichat Android app." You're using Tapatalk, which is a completely different thing.

    Perhaps seek assistance from the people that make the app.

    Ah. The "Nexus 6 using Tapatalk" sig was throwing me. Sorry about that.

    I have seen similar issues.

    One thing that sometimes helps is a downswipe on the screen, which reloads the current messages and updates where there are new posts. But I regularly am tolld there's a new post in a subforum I frequent only to find that none actually exist.

    There's a thread here, somewhere, for reporting bugs. I'll find it and add this to the list. Been meaning to anyway.
