Despite my card not expiring until 31/01/2026, the app says it has already expired,I must renew. The on line card has been blurred out. Only half my personal details were visible. I clicked on the box to renew. It merely takes me to choose a category section. I uninstalled/reinstalled the app, it still isn't working. Some sentences are all merged together. When the BLC was 1st introduced, it worked fine. I've had discounts on line & in restaurants. EDIT:DIRECT COMS, ISSUE SORTED

Disappointingly the search function no longer works. Instead there is a spinning circle, then a message about taking longer to load due to high demand (it's just gone half seven on a Sunday morning, so that seems unlikely) and then another message saying that it'll take a bit longer and that I should try again later. Thankfully the search function works fine in my browser at the moment. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but this hasn't helped.

The app has become very clunky and does not load discounts anymore. Each time I, my wife, or friends try to use it, we now see "Hang tight! The page is just taking a little longer to load due to high demand. Thanks for your patience". This is on different makes of phones and using Fibre broadband WiFi. We have cleared the App Cache and re-installed the app but it remains the same. When it works the App is brilliant, but it seems as if Blue Light needs to upgrade the servers/ back end.
