Partial Outage: Sunday, July 14th, 2019

Updated 1:30 PM EDT

Swackett servers in the eastern United States are currently experiencing a very heavy load — more than 20-times normal. This is causing sporadic outages for some users (if your Swackett app tries to connect to one of these servers).

We are deploying extra resources now — and we are watching the situation closely.

If you experience any issues please let us know, Our tech support lines are open!
