The thing you could do is: go into Settings, Apps, search in the list for “App Lounge” and clear it’s cache there. Probably it’s a good idea to clear also the entire storage of the app. After this the app is virgin, this means: exactly as before the first start. When you start the app now it should open as expected and you should be requested to perform a new (anonymous) login.

I press the buttons for clear cache and the storage button but they just grey out and nothing happens. When I reopen I get to Accept conditions. Next I get the welcome page and I click on Stay Anonymous. The Home page remains blank, Categories says Error Occurs whilst loading Apps. Search says web Apps unavailable. In settings all boxes are.ticked. I am.connected to internet WiFi as I am typing this now.

I am asking for more help please. Richard

This post extends the same advice a bit further as you might need to allow time before you return after Clear storage [Solved] Teracube 2e apps misbehave - #2 by aibd.

I suggest to get on top of that first. If however you have a more persistent logjam then the next level advice is as Impossible to update any app, or access the App Lounge for Fairphone 6 on /e/os - #12 by aibd.

Did you already update the system with the last version available 3.7.3? It may help to fix your issue.

I do have an icon on the top next to my wireless connection sign. On its left. It is a round circle with a diagonal line through it. I pull the drop down down from the top but I can’t see anything that looks like it. Line goes top left to bottom right. Version says 2:17.1. I turn my phone off every night so gets re started. been like this for two weeks now, thank you for continued support.

Thank you for all the help, i have fixed it. App lounge had lost internet permission to open.

I used a previous fix from someone. I had to add the internet connection to App lounge. as below.

I found a solution ! I think that message from @MIB made my ears ring.
By a mysterious action, the internet access to all the app was drop during update.
To solve it, you must go into “setting” → “apps” choose an app to witch you want add the internet connection “app info” → “mobile data usage” → and enable “allow network access”
