In the latest Android app on a Syrian network, the home and tutor screens stayed empty and showed "Sorry, something went wrong", so no tutor could be reached. The volunteer's screenshots reached us by email and are not published here.

On a retest from Syria, cambly.com still failed to open in a mobile browser and returned HTTP error 451. The volunteer's screenshots reached us by email and are not published here.

Sign-inFails

A volunteer reported that signing in through the Cambly Android app failed from Syria with an "Oops" error on more than one local network, and that the same sign-in went through once a VPN was switched on. His screenshots reached us by email and are not published here.
