Navigated to the HG stats screen and back and the text started going right to the top of the screen (annoying because that’s where my camera is so I can’t read the middle word). Restarted HG and it was fine for a bit but happened again after a time.
No complaints yet with dark mode, and it’s nice having font options. Looks much sleeker.
Just first try of the Android Beta, but when I have the screen set to white or sepia, it’s very hard to see the time/battery because they show in white font. Against the white background.
Mine looks fine — perhaps it’s device-specific? On my Xiaomi:
Edit: Played around some, in my case the bar is readable as long as the app theme matches the system theme. If system is in light mode and you set the app to dark, you’ll get dark grey text on a black background and so forth.
This should be fixed now.
We’ve put “Similar Games” back the way it was. (We think this will make it easier for newbies to find other games in the same series.)
@GreekWinter @LordSpecter Were you ever able to try signing in on a newer beta? (Even if it fails, it should automatically log some errors that I can use to investigate.)
I just bought Wizard Confidential on the beta CoG app and went to open it on the browser, but it says I don’t own it there (every other game I own is listed when I login to CoG, either on the browser or on the app, it’s just this new one missing on the browser).
Playing a demo on my tablet I noticed a couple of oddities; in portrait mode, I can scroll down even when the page text is short enough that there’s nothing else to display below the cut. The space for the ad is also blank (this displayed fine in my phone).
I just downloaded the new update (v3.2.1 (84)) and have been playing through Hyuga Book 1 and 2 and the app will force-close in the middle of playing. It doesn’t seem to be connected to picking a choice or scrolling. Let me know if there are any other troubleshooting/tests I can do to give you information.
I’m so sorry about this, but I accidentally snuck in a last-minute major performance bug in v3.2.1.
I’ve submitted CoG 5.2.2, HC 4.2.2, and HG 3.2.2 to Google. Beta testers should have access in a few hours.
No worries. 
There’s a lot of blank space at the top of thr credits page for some reason. Was that intentional?
Sorry! I don’t frequent these forums as often as I should! I’ve got several screenshots to upload. AletheiaKnight’s post about unable to read the achievements shows that bottom bar I was asking to get rid of. It’s in the way of so many things and I know for android devices it’s the chromium browser bar.
Trying to respond, post edit: I wrote up this post with a bunch of screenshots which apparently I don’t have rights to do. So I made this public google photos album. I titled sections with what the screenshots are related to, I gave all of them descriptions on what they were, most I even commented on with more details (click the comment button for each photo in the lower right), but is just basically the below bullet point list copied and pasted over.

There were screenshots between these, but see above link now.
Regarding my games disappearing:
Stronghold and Moreytown screenshots in that album are two I’ve read at least 8 times each and have purchased. Yet only recently they show as not purchased. I started working on a list of ones that have disappeared from my account. But its quite difficult to pull that list together.
There is no filter for “Unpurchased” games. There’s one for purchased which doesn’t help me. The purchase list in settings and on the choiceofgames website under my profile I already spot several that are missing anew. This time around its a lot released in 2019 for some reason?
As a reminder this is the same tablet and google account I’ve had from day 1 of starting to go through the choiceofgames/hosted/hearts library. Nothing’s change in that regard.
Thanks so much for getting back to me!
I’ve upgraded your forum account to the next Trust Level; you should be able to post screenshots now.
Signing in to choiceofgames.com: Please try the new CoGnibus 5.2.3 (it should prompt you to upgrade the next time you launch the app).
When you do, try signing in again; it might just work this time (but I don’t feel lucky).
If it doesn’t work, please go to Settings → Troubleshooting → Sign In and tap the “Sign In” button there. It’ll probably flash that blank screen again, but if it does, please send me a screenshot of the troubleshooting screen.
And then, try the “Sign in via Browser” link at the bottom of the screen. I’ll be very surprised if that doesn’t work.
Moreytown and Stronghold: I did figure out why those aren’t showing up. You purchased those in their standalone apps, i.e. instead of purchasing “Welcome to Moreytown” in the “Choice of Games” app, you purchased it in the “Welcome to Moreytown” app. (This is also why it’s the older games that are missing; around 2019 is when you started exclusively buying games in the “Choice of Games” app.)
We have a solution for this! What we do is to transfer your receipts from the standalone Moreytown app to choiceofgames.com. Then, “all you have to do” is to sign in to choiceofgames.com, and your purchases should show right up.
The broken “Sign In” is the reason why Moreytown and Stronghold are showing up as unpurchased. When we fix Sign In, we’ll fix those games, too.
This crashing bug signing in to Google Play Games is completely separate from signing in to choiceofgames.com, and it is wild. Your phone automatically sent me crash reports for the Google Play Games toggle; I’ve never seen a crash before like this in my life!
(When building an Android app, it divides my files (my “classes”) up into .dex files. My app has six .dex files, classes1.dex, classes2.dex, classes3.dex, classes4.dex, classes5.dex, and classes6.dex. The crash you encountered was in classes7.dex. But that’s a huge problem, because I don’t have a classes7.dex!!)
Nobody else’s phone has crashed like that in the last month. I can’t reproduce the issue on my test phone, my test tablet, or in any of my emulators. My head is exploding.
I’m… going to keep trying to research this, but I’m really struggling on this one. (Luckily, logging in to Google Play Services is not required to enjoy our app.)
- Achievements still being hidden due to the lower bar hiding it
I see your screenshot; I thought I’d fixed that, but it looks like I didn’t fix it on all Android devices. I’m on the case. (But this is not yet fixed in 5.2.3.)
Fair enough. In 5.2.3, the restart dialog looks like this:
Start over from the beginning?
You will erase all progress in this game, including checkpoints. This action cannot be undone.
[Cancel] [Erase My Progress]
Hopefully that will be clearer.
Yes, I do see that. It looks like your tablet is using an enlarged font. I’ll see what I can do to fix this.
Soo… progress… I think? Well at least regarding the google play thing. I can toggle the sign in for it no problem now with this new version. Doesn’t crash the app anymore. So no more mystery magical #7. (Almost like we’re in a IF game with that heh.)
However I still can’t sign in to the choice of games side. Here are the screenshot you requested. Also the “Updates” section is now throwing out error messages of timeout.
Oh request I keep forgetting to bring up. Can we make this favorite button, umm larger? Especially with these new larger buttons my fat fingers keep missing the heart.
Regarding the erase your game thing: That’s a lot better yes! Though that’s not quite correct though? Archangel or zombie exodus even if you “restart” you can still load in the saved games. Where that message leads me to believe it would wipe that out too. Perhaps a simple word inclusion of, “… all current progress in this game, …” ? Sorry for being nitpicky about this. The whole “erase my game” or now “erase my progress” seems so final to me. The first time I saw the original message I about had an anxiety attack, but forced myself to trust the process.
Thanks so much! That was the information I needed. I believe sign in should be fixed in the latest CoGnibus 5.2.4; once you sign in, Moreytown and Stronghold should show up as Purchased.
Yeah, that’s on my list. (It kept breaking things when I tried to make it larger.)
The distinction between “saved games” and “checkpoints” is confusing to most players, so I’d rather err on the side of warning than on the side of confusion that leads people to think that they won’t lose their progress.
I can report everything has now been resolved on my end. Yay! All the games that were no longer showing purchased, now show purchased once more. I can sign in and out of google play services and choice of games account.
Screenshot showing the login window that used to just appear and auto close. I now get a login prompt!
I did find another issue though similar to the achievements one. (Haven’t verified that fix yet.) You actually can possibly miss what’s wrong in this screenshot. Under the bottom bar is the message of “This game has been updated. Restarting the chapter.” toast notification.
Hooray for signing in!
Yeah… all the toasts are not fixed yet, so this is kinda expected.
The only thing I found was that sometimes when I leave the app irregardless of which app I use, and come back to it, it will reset and go back to the choose game screen.
In the old versions before this testing, it never did that
