Doesn't work on my pixel phone ,have to use a different phone to use this app. ( Works fine and a very useful app for train control)Not sure if it's a Hornby issue or a Google problem. but it needs sorting out.

Works fine on my Android 13 tablet, but not on an Android 15 phone. I can live with it as the bigger tablet screen makes it a little easier. Gives option to update Circuit images, but despite permissions links just don't open
