In my app, I’m using an open link block to go to a Playstore, with a join block, like this: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/1/7/1788450a08dd0d6d41eb86b921cc2aeec64efd90.png) While it’s working properly on the web, it’s not going anywhere on Thunkable phone live test. I tried removing the join block, and keeping the default Thunkable link,([https://thunkable.com](https://thunkable.com)) it worked. Then I tried linking the block to just Playstore home page, with no search terms, and it didn’t work. I then thought that maybe it wasn’t accepting two keywords(surprisingly, the computer test was working), so I just gave it a one-word search term to no avail. I also put blocks in the error section(from textinput1 set text to “Error”) but nothing showed up. Any idea what to do? Thanks. ---

I tested with this ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/6/c/6c8c463b51e5a7be0559be994cb234a6823300a7.png) The page opens as expected from both the Web Live and the Thunkable app in mobile ---

@muneer It’s working on my tablet but not on my phone. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/7/6/76dc813316e62471ba62258dc8af893034ba232e.png) ---

So I assume it’s something to do with the phone then. A kind of restriction or some kind of security to prevent other apps from reaching this specific link or other links. ---

Oh ok. Thanks for your help. ---

But the funny thing is, it opened Thunkable and couldn’t open Playstore. ---
