Why Stash app not working? What’s the fix?
If your Stash app is not working the way it should be, don’t lose your pecker up, there is something from your end that needs to be resolved. We’ve cast around a few reasons with fixes that you can follow to get past any issue that hits the app. Let’s dig in.
Restart the smartphone.
As trivial a restart or reboot may sound, the more impact it has on your phone. When rebooting, you clear out all the fluff running in the background, but you also fire up your mobile speed to a lot.
This is the first step you can try if your Stash app is stuck or not working correctly. After that, you need to tap on and off your power button for a few seconds to let the magic kick in.
However, many times this method doesn’t go through.
App requires Update
Navigate to the Playstore, and ensure if Stash needs an update. Updating an app is crucial, as it eliminates bugs and improves your overall experience. Undoubtedly, an outdated application may clash with a smartphone’s software and may pop out many errors that you haven’t heard of.
The simple solution to this chaos is just installing the current version or updating to the freshest version released by the developer. You can download it from any APK site or Update it through the Play store.
Check your internet
You might be amazed how many people get stuck because of their weak internet connection. Maybe you’re on a faster interest, but it’s worth checking out the strength of the signal when the app is taking forever to load.
As we know, The more network strength we receive, the faster we can run our applications. So make sure you have full internet access that allows you to run server-based apps with ease.
If you’re not sure how to gauge your internet speed, you can head over to speedtest.net and have your WiFi speed checked.
Also, to fix the problem, you can try to turn your WiFi on and off from your smartphone settings.
Reset Network Settings
When your internet has high-strength signals, but it can’t seem to work on your smartphone, you need a network reset. When you reset your network settings, you lose all the linked Wi-Fi and Bluetooth devices that might be causing a problem with your internet. However, this tactic works most of the time, but it is avoidable when you’re not experiencing any network-related issues.

- Tap System management.
- Access Backup and Reset.
- And tap Reset network settings.
On iOS

- Then General.

Clear up data and cache
Unable to load the Stash app? or facing a login problem? This is probably the case with your file storage. When not cleaning up the cache from to time, an app compiles junk files, so you need to wipe out the cache to keep things clean.
You’ll have more free space and a better app performance than when you don’t delete the cache. However, once the data get removed, so your preferences Will. That means you have to log in to the Stash app once again. And if you forgot your email and password, even worse, you will lose your settings and everything – you get the fresh app as it was after installing.
VPN is On
You may have the VPN enabled, which may be causing an issue. Stash is available only in the United States, and the VPN may be restricting you from accessing your account due to the location change. However, if you’re not in the United States, you can still log in and access some of its features.
Double-check if you’re not running any VPN to bypass your proxy. Simply go to the source (app or site) and turn it off. Then, head back to the app and try it again.
Outdated device.
So many Android tablets and smartphones are out there running on shoddy software. If you’re having one of those, kindly try another device. The device may be special for you, but some apps actually don’t like running on rusty software.
You could face a host of problems with your outdated smartphone, such as glitches, black screen, slow loading, errors, and more.

Factory Reset
After trying everything, if Stash still is not working, we suggest you do a factory reset of your smartphone. Unlike other fixes, it’s the most powerful fix that renews your smartphone and hammer out loads of major bugs and software issues. It deletes everything and makes your smartphone completely new as it was at the time of purchase.
Before resetting your smartphone, you must back up your data to the cloud servers, so you retrieve your data if this solution doesn’t work.
