Phone App not working

When I click the bubble that says "sign in", I receive the following message: "Connection Error, Check that your device has an internet connection." It will not do anything other than that on the "Sign in/Create account" main page.

Phone is a Samsung Galaxy S8 (SM-G950U). Software is up to date and phone has been restarted multiple times through the following processes.

App has been updated. Same issue.

App was uninstalled and re-installed. Same issue.

WiFi and LTE services are working on my phone as I use it all day for work and have no other issues.

Base station, keypad, and devices monitored are all working.

Hi @subarumechanic, 

Thank you for listing the troubleshooting steps you've taken, this helps so I don't recommend something you've already tried! I would have recommended checking your WiFi connection and removing/re-downloading the SimpliSafe app, so I've gone ahead and forwarded your case to our support team for further troubleshooting. A specialist will be in touch soon to get to the bottom of this.
