Problem with Android app on Google Nexus 7

23 Oct 2014

On my Nexus 7, the Lush Stories app has just stopped working, after many months of working without difficulty. I've tried reinstalling from various sources (version 1.0 and 1.5 of the app) but nothing seems to work.

Details: When I open the app, the home screen is blank except for the "Lush Stories" title in white on red at the top; I'm used to getting a list of categories.

"Settings" starts correctly, and I can set up the Pass code fine, but the "Hide Categories" setting does not produce a list of categories; instead it just produces a "Hide Categories - Done or Cancel" box. The "Search" option seems (initially) to work, but all searches result in "No match found".

Apologies if my query has been answered already, but I have looked through the forum topics and haven't found anything. Also, if my description of the problem isn't complete, I'll be happy to give further details on request!

Perhaps I should add that I can get to the Lush Stories website via Google Chrome without difficulty. But the app suits me far better, since I can download a selection of stories for use offline.

Any pointers to getting the app working again would be much appreciated.

Unfortunately due to Google's decision to remove all adults apps from their Play store, we are no longer supporting the Android app. There is no way for us to offer updates.

The api that it uses has changed recently so the app will no longer work.

If you wanted to save stories for offline reading you could download the pdf version of each story perhaps?

If you've got an Amazon account, there's also the "Send to Kindle" option at the bottom of stories. You have to log into your Amazon account with the Kindle Android app at least once before you can selected it in the popup, but then you can send the story directly to the tablet.

Thanks for the replies.

Sorry that the Lush Android app will no longer work - it did seem to work very well, and I hope that in due course Lush decides to revise it for distribution on Amazon or somewhere.

Thanks very much for the hint about the Kindle solution to the problem. I'll try that out!
