Why can't some apps access the internet and give a blank white screen instead

A

AC Question

I have a couple of apps (e.g. "Playstation" app and "Wetherspoon Order and Pay" app) that can't access the internet fully.

Most other apps can access the internet without issue. This issue happens both on 3G and wi-fi.

At certain points the apps in question try and load a connection to the internet in a new screen and I just get a blank white screen. Other aspects of the apps can access the internet without issue (e.g. the Wetherspoon app can show me details of the nearest Wetherspoon pub, but when I click "login" it just get a blank white screen). If I force a drop in the internet connection just as the screen is loading, then sometimes I can get a "Web page not available" message.

Other apps that launch internet pages via launching the normal in-built browser also work fine.
