WHY DOES THE NIGHTHAWK APP CRASH BEFORE IT EVEN OPENS?

Is anyone else having problems with the NightHawk App? I can't even get mine to open before it crashes. Has anyone figured out how to fix this issue? I have uninstalled it and re-installed it and it still crashes. I can't get my extender connected throught WPS and the NightHawk app is crashing everytime I try to open it. I am beyond frustrated with the lack of help from Netgear.

  • Its doesn't open for me either. It doesnt matter what device you have. I have multiple Netgear devices. It says checking internet connection then crashes and says Nighthawk keeps stopping.
  • It used to work fine months ago. Its been a while since I've used it.

      They broke the Android version, if that is what you use, in a recent update.

       

      It works on some Androids but nit on others. Samsung hardware seems to have been especially hard hit.
