Seriously, is anyone else having a hard time opening the mobile app? I keep getting "Unknown error trying to validate email or username."

Mine hasn't worked for three days. Now I'm using the internet browser version and it SUCKS DONKEY DICKS. Seriously imgur, fix your shit.
Moominator
I cant use imgur at work cause porn shows up in commercial.

*Laughs in Apple. For once.*
LerryV2
imagine using an app to load a website instead of just going to the website
RetrogradeLlama
Working on the Desktop and IOS.
GiraffeMoonPilot6
This all takes turns between working and sucking ass
Zanzetuken
Yesterday nothing would load. And I mean NOTHING. Have to catch up on all my meme posters!
AVaguelyFamiliarUsername
Had that problem for 2 days. Seems to be fixed by now.
ReturnWinchester
Android phone app still looks like this:
WarlockSniper
My friend who solely uses her smartphone for the app @Flowerisland cannot use the app at all for over a day now.
YippeeKayakOB
Honestly, still just waiting for something better than Imgur.
FoxPesdassi
The only change I've noticed today are in the ads. For the whole past week they were all for rugs that look like a bottomless pit. Now they're all about something called "Joint Juice", I can't read Spanish but it looks like there's a recall or a class-action lawsuit or something.
MaximusV2
Completely fucked. Had to uninstall, power cycle and reinstall. Fuck business daddy
XEPNO
I deleted my mobile app and then re-downloaded it. Seemed to have worked good.
TeamSpicyTacos
Yes, I uninstalled about an hour ago, rebooted the phone, reinstalled, relogged in and now it works
mcodger
This is the way ....
75townecoupe
Had to uninstall and reinstall.
sockpanhandler
How about more ads that pop up on mobile from an ad ribbon that you don’t even click to engage?
fartser
Same here. I couldn't get it to work at all yesterday.

ThatRaccoonGuy
Could have just left the site the way it was a few years ago when it DID work and just not change anything, ever, forever.
bloxxing
saw this post on my desktop. tried opening on android, fail. installed the update. restarted, 'unknown error' msg. still working ok on desktop.
ProbablySmellLikeDoge
Yes
AgamemnonsMemes
You guys are using the app?
TheVillageGrouch9000
Never. Why do most of you use it if it's shit?
AgamemnonsMemes
I don't even use the new website version, i still use the old appearance, let alone using the app.
Wallaceman105
Been on mobile browser the whole time, tried the app like, 6 years ago and decided nahhh
acetothermus
Started last night. Business daddy doesn't care about mobile.
Snooj
The update came out less than 24 hour later so I'm not sure how that fits the narrative.
MaddMatter
The update added way more adds.
DdCno1
Firefox + uBlock Origin. Why use the app in the first place?
SirReginaldTheThirteenth
This is a fallacy of an image. They don't want to make it better. They want it to generate more money.
Myoron
I just use the mobile web on an ad blocking browser. Don't care about chat or notifications so works fine for me.
FeloniousMonk13
App is all fucked dude.. I signed in on desktop
ScreamimgGoat
I Uninstalled and reinstalled. That fixed it for me
CrabbyBlueberry
The mobile site works just fine. Use your mobile web browser. If you install Firefox, you can even have uBlock.
ZeldaShotFirst
Update it via Google play, it works
implosion3
I know there are people that use the desktop version, Its just odd imo to use imgur and consume memes n silly shit on anything other than a phone. Seems weird to sit In front of a computer (something I mostly work on) and read this type of content. Oh well.. to each their own
ThisGuyPostingThings
The only way I use it, I don't want janky proprietary apps.
IMakeLotsOfReferencesAndRemakes
"What do you mean you don't want to experience the site on our glorified web browser and data collection tool?!?!?!"
Marikhen
Exactly my view on YouTube. I use Firefox on my phone for YouTube and Imgur.
namelessfish
I’ve been getting ads pop up and fill the screen randomly, but that’s happened since the last “blackout”. Hella annoying
NightOwlRally
I've been having that problem, too. and they're always some stupid "finger pulling the wrong lever out so the little guy with a sword drowns in lava" variant

Get an Android and block ads. Stop using iPhone and their insane locked down retarded OS.
namelessfish
Wish I could but I get them from hand me downs from my family. Not gonna say no to free phone

Orion Browser should block ads on iOS. No need to use the app or most apps really.
DerpyBestPrincess
That's fair. You can switch to a browser with adblocker instead of using the app, but it's a bit more cumbersome.
Bojovnik84
Look for an update in the store. They put an update out that fixed it mid-day today.
GhostSavage10
or they shut it down to force an update
aabcdort
So that's what it was, I thought my account got nuked/banned because I wasn't able to see my own posts/comments in the app and they weren't showing up on the web either. I reinstalled the app earlier hoping that would maybe fix it but I wasn't confident.
WillemHellfire
Yep. It works for me now.
BikerRay
I'm getting a 24 hour down timer on the top right corner. Any ideas? Still there after reinstall.
sunflowersticklemorethanfeathers
This was the only solution I found and only by accident. Most websites had information the actual imgur website was down but once that was working it was also saying the apps were working too when they weren't. No information on other sites like Facebook about it being down or how to fix it, it was very frustrating.
Emjayen
Correct. You should be on version 7.3 on Android atleast.
Jinxies
Thank you!
andrewgrr1
Fukn 3 days later. Solid work.
EvilOne666
So what did they do yesterday that trashed all the old versions?
SavageDrums
Something to try to extract more profit from this dying venture, I'd imagine...
EvilOne666
I just reinstalled and the newest version seems to be working, but has a problem loading large pictures. Hopefully I can go back to the old version I had
NightOwlRally
Hmm, I re-installed it earlier and it hasn't fixed anything - I'll keep searching though, cheers
VodkaReindeer
You can't keep searching! It's not like there's updates in multiple places!
ZeldaShotFirst
I did that too earlier, and updated it via Google play, and it worked. Hooray!
IToldYouSo1
Thanks for sharing, it worked 🗽😅
