If are encountering issues, your browser may be too old. Here are the browsers that should work:
Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Edge, Samsung Internet - Full support for non-horribly outdated versions.
Any Browser on iOS 8.4+ (maybe lower). iOS 11.3+ needed for offline support. Web push notifications not supported. Dark mode needs iOS 10. Below iOS 9, empty space appears between rivers on home page.
Opera Mini - Fails in extreme data saving mode. On the home page, the navigaton menu may lack styling, and the advanced search menu may be at the bottom of the page.
If you encounter issues while using a supported browser, please refer to "where can I contact you" below.
You can use the Feedback Form, or you can email me at contact@rivers.run
