Check your internet connection speed and stability, restart the app or device, clear the app cache if supported, and verify that no parental or device-level restrictions are blocking content.

Account access or authentication failures
Reset your password using the official forgot password flow, ensure you are using the correct email linked to the account, and check that your subscription is active.
