Hi, I’m using the latest version in the App Store and the widget on my home screen is stuck. It doesn’t update after I clear items on the selected list. If I try to edit the widget and change the list, instead of the list of lists, I get “loading…” and then nothing. Is anyone else having this issue?

If I remove and re-add the widget, it’s a blank white square and no list can be selected. It’s “loading…” then nothing. I can solve the issue by restarting the phone but it’s not ideal. I have a 13 pro max that isn’t THAT long in the tooth?

Mine is a white box but otherwise works as it should 🤷🏻‍♂️

It happened to me once, when I had first added an widget, and I restarted my phone (15 pro max). It hasn’t happened again since then

Hey Kim, can you keep me posted if it gets in this state again after having rebooted device?

@mdtolic also what exactly is going on here? Like are all your widgets just blank?!

Yeah I’ll see if it happens again and let you know if the restart stopped helping. 👍🏻

What do you mean by ‘otherwise works as it should’? Does it fix the white state rebooting?

I am still accounting for a possible bug on our end here so curious if there’s some way to reproduce this…

@KimInTime thank you, let me know if you happen to have any theories on what might’ve triggered it if it happens again!

By works like it should I meant that while it was white, when I tapped it, it would launch Clear in the last view I had open. That could have been a list, the shop, my lists, etc. I assumed that was what it was supposed to do. I liked that. However, I just rebooted and it made me pick a list to show and open up to.

Ah ok, yeah you should be able to check things off now too (tap along left margin). This white widget issue is sporadic but very annoying, I hope it’s something we can figure out and fix!
