App Lounge

• Apps are no longer appearing twice on the Updates screen

==> This must be a different issue, because it refers to the updates screen. I am not writing about the update screen. I am writing about the standard screen for an app icon shown in the list of one category.

I can confirm, this behavior. But if you refresh the view there an no duplicates. Maybe clearing the apps cache also helps.

How do you refresh the list?

I can only drag up or down (to move up or down in list). Whille dragging down, more entries are added to list. I do not have to seem an option to refresh?

Thanks.

I went back to the categories overview and than back to “Essen & Trinken”. Did you try clearing the cache ?

After a period of difficulties check the App Lounge FAQ the first bit advice is

Clear App Lounge’s data by navigating to Settings > Apps > App Lounge > Storage & cache > Clear storage, then wait for a while before you use the Anonymous account login again.

If at first no change repeat and Wait longer.
