What the "service is unreachable" page means

Sometimes a Quorum app shows a full-page message such as "Podcasts service is unreachable" with the Quorum logo above it. This page exists so you always know what is happening, and so the app can bring itself back without you doing anything.

What it means

Each Quorum app is backed by its own service, and the app checks that its service is responding. When the service cannot be reached, the app shows this page instead of a broken or half-loaded screen. The message explains it plainly: the service may be down for a moment, or your own connection may be offline.

The app is deliberately careful about showing this page. A single dropped request is not treated as an outage, so a brief network blip while you work will not replace your page. Only repeated failed checks in a row switch to the unreachable page.

What to do

1. Wait a moment. The page retries automatically every few seconds, and the instant the service responds again your page comes back on its own. If the outage began while the app was open, your page returns exactly where it was. If it began before the app loaded, the page reloads fresh.
2. Check your own connection. If other websites are also failing, the problem is likely your network rather than Quorum. Reconnect and the page will recover on the next retry.
3. Try another Quorum app from the app switcher. Each app has its own service, so Storage can be perfectly healthy while Podcasts is briefly down. If every app is unreachable, that points more strongly to your connection.

What you do not need to do

You do not need to refresh repeatedly, sign out, or clear anything. The page keeps retrying for you, and recovery is automatic the moment the service responds. If the page persists for a long time while other sites work normally, reach out to your Quorum contact so we can look into it.
