Why not just use lichess on web browser?

The problem is on the android app, not the web site. I know the PGNs are fine, but we are reporting that the Android app isn't working.

Your reply is appreciated, but not very useful. I'm not sure if you meant it as a joke?

We are reporting that the android app isn't able to import PGNs.

I know that so until the devs fix it anyone who is having the problem can use the web .
OK, I found the bug, next restart will fix it, in a day or two.

That was quick!

Merci beaucoup

I'll make a separate post about the "game launching" issue if it persists after the next restart. I'll give details (version, how to reproduce bug, etc.)
Game import from the app should be fixed now, can someone confirm?
