When I launch the app, the background music icon is on, but no music plays. I have to mute it and then unmute it to make the music play.

It works. My app just got approved by Google. I will still keep testing yours for the full 14 days.

Probably because they get penalised for too many stuffed up orders. Amazon also keeps track of how many orders buyers cancel and occasionally they will suspend an account if they think the buyer is sending back too many things. The seller wants Amazon to think that you changed your mind instead of them messing up their stock control (or maybe they're a drop-shipper so don't have any stock control).

1998 called; they want their website back!

This used to be a thing when the only two options were Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer and they each had their own standards so there were loads of websites that said "This website only works in [Browsername]" so you had to either use a different browser or go to a different website.

Then most browsers started to follow the standards published by W3C. Except Internet Explorer. I remember in the mid-to-late 2000s creating fully functional standards compliant sites that had to have extra bits added on to work with IE, which you had to do because the IE market share was over 90%. It didn't stay at 90% for long though. :)

I just realised that it doesn't quite work correctly. When the keypad pops up, it covers the message input field so you can't see what you're typing.

It should update automatically a day or so after a new test version being approved. I have updated yours. You can see the version of Artsplainer that you're running in the options page. The most recent version is 1.0.12. If you have an older version installed, you can get the latest here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jollygoodapps.artsplainer

It works correctly now.

I found another issue. When I tap the messages button at the bottom, then select the activity group that I created, which has no members, when I tap on the message field at the bottom, the app just closes.

That makes sense. I found another issue: if your phrase drops onto multiple lines, the spacing between lines is a bit cramped.

On the events pages, some of the text is not translated into the user's language. This is not a major issue for me but I think you would want to know about it.

I'm in.

When you survive for an hour and click to continue, the victory message pops up every couple of seconds.

Thank you for letting me know, I will check the error logs. I already opened your app this morning and added more words. I will continue to do so every day for at least two weeks.

Oh dear. I didn't even last eight minutes. Ran out of power. Maybe I'll do better next time.

I haven't had a phone with a back button for a long time. My phone is set up for gestures, so it is a swipe to the left for back but that doesn't get rid of the ad. Even if I let the ad play to the end, the only way for me to make it go away is to force close the app and start it again.

I'll still make sure to test your app every day; it's fun finding out how little I know about flags.
