Justo to provide additional info in order to make the debug easier.
I'm having trouble with an Iphone 6s working with IOS 13.5.1 .
I already deleted and reinstalled the APP with no success.
Username and password are OK since I can login to http web site with no problem.
When I hit login after typing username and pwd the APP keeps replying: "Request failed: unacceptable content-type: text/html".
Tks & Rgds.

yeah, can't access my account via the app at all. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app but it still doesn't work. Thanks for looking into it.

I am still unable to log in using the app. Is this still a national issue?

I confirm that the old and new apps are not working at the moment.

But you can stil login at https://www.giffgaff.com/dashboard and from there you can do almost everything, other than to enable wifi extra.

Still can’t access account via app. Seems to be taking a long time to fix. Any news?

I can’t access the app. I’m on iOS. The error I get is “Request failed: unacceptable content-type: text/html”.

Also, I’m being asked for Captcha verification when accessing giffgaff from my home broadband in the UK.

I had an issue using the app on two different devices earlier.

Now it's working.

But that is after, on both devices, having gone through the Captcha interface to access the website.

Is the Captcha, maybe, interfering with the app gaining access and once the device has been ok'd by Captcha the app gets through?

App now working again for me

Good afternoon giffgaffers,

I'd like to personally thanks all members for your continued patience while we continue our efforts to look into why the app is failing for some of you.

What we are still seeing is intermittent reports from members that are unable to get the app to work. We are continuing to investigate this issue and will update you on our progress as we know more.

In the meantime members can access all of our amazing pages via your normal internet browser by popping on over here: https://www.giffgaff.com/auth/login to login. Members who are outside of the UK may see an additional Captcha verification page when logging into their giffgaff account via a browser. We can confirm that this is part of our sign in verification process.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and thank members for their patience whilst we investigate and resolve this issue as quickly as we can.

krzys12621 I got the new app yesterday and couldn’t open it. Couldn’t open it this morning either. I’ve reinstalled it and the original app comes back up. Though it tells me I’m not allowed to do stuff lol.
