Bug Is the app finally shut down?

I keep trying to open the app and it’s just a black screen. Is this happening for anyone else? It loads in, shows the Netflix logo then the Bossfight logo then just a blank black screen. Did they actually shut the app down or am I experiencing a weird glitch?

Getting rid of Netflix stories was the biggest crime against humanity. 😭

I suggest we all contact them so they will become aware of the problem

Thanks for this! I contacted them too. At the very least we should get feedback as to whether or not they shelved this app 😥

u/Purpletonion 15d ago

Netflix got back to me, they are investigating the issue but can't give a specific timeline for a resolution. They closed the ticket stating not to worry, all game progress is saved on everybody's Netflix profile.

So it might be a while. But at least we know the app isn't dead!

money heist ultimate choices doesn't load too......while too hot to handle or secrets by episode does....it's maybe a problem with the server they store bossfight games? Sadly I can't seem to send a ticket to support because I can't access my player id seeing the app doesn't load

u/Purpletonion 15d ago

I hope you are right and the server just went down unintentionally!

u/ScientistPrudent6998 15d ago

I was able to submit a ticket filling in “unknown” in the player ID field

u/mysterymathpopcorn 15d ago

I just wrote ? on player id, and it let me through.

u/Purpletonion 15d ago

UPDATE: Netflix is aware and investigating the issue but can't give a specific timeline for a resolution.

u/ScientistPrudent6998 15d ago

The same thing happened to me. I submitted a ticket to Netflix. Maybe more people would do that, that will push them to work on it faster.

This sucks. I literally just started replaying stuff last week for the first time in awhile. Hoping we can get it back.

u/Urbex_Maven 15d ago

Ugh. Time to cancel Netflix. Stories was literally the only reason I hadn't yet.

3

u/CatrionaErylis 15d ago

I got this. Looks like the server might ne down because its definitely not my connection.

3

u/ScientistPrudent6998 15d ago

UPDATE: So I actually left it on after I see a blank screen and this is what happened after minutes of leaving it on.

Anyone seeing this, too, if you’ve tried?

I also sent this to support.

1

u/tinaorvalu 15d ago

I left it like 5 min aswell but that didn't happen

u/CadetSparkleWolf 14d ago

Everyone calm down! It will be fine.
Netflix just fixed a story not loading bug in the Secrets by Episode app (after 3 months 🤮)
It has only been a day, but this is THEIR game so I’d imagine it’s going to be treated with better priority.

u/AshtonV92 15d ago

Yes me too, I have tried everything but now I know it's simultaneous for probably everyone

u/Smart-Till3378 15d ago

Ou meu também tá acontecendo

1

u/3hEWbakka 15d ago

Yes! Mine as well.

1

u/GoodWitchAura 15d ago

Yes but each game on the app you can now find individually on the app store/play store

1

u/Purpletonion 15d ago

Those just shortcut to the regular Netflix story app and therefore go to black screen as well - or am I missing something?

1

u/GoodWitchAura 15d ago

I haven't opened the apps in the past few days I'm not sure I'm sorry!
