Hey Joe M.10, 

Of course, I must ask the obvious: what version of iOS and our app are you running? iOS is currently on 11.2.6, and our app is 82.2. If you’re all up to date, go ahead and get in touch with our support team for further troubleshooting. When you get a ticket number, let me know, and I’ll make sure to get someone on it right away. 

Cheers!

Sanchez, 

 

Thanks for the message.  Indeed, I have IOS 11.2.6, and the most recent version of the app on an iPhone 10.  I actually just got the phone, and was seeing the same thing on my 6S+.  I sent support a message.  The ticket number is: #7621256
