It was nice to get notifications about topics you follow, etc. When I try to open it, I just get a strange message about installing Chrome - and I see it has disappeared from the Google App Store too. 🤔 ---

@Grete isn’t it a thing from Chrome. If you go to the community forum of Homey it has asked me if i want to instal the … Don’t know how it was called. But then you get a icon within your apps and go to the Homey community. ---

(Please change topic title to “What happened to the Homey Community Forum app?”) It popped up just now (Chrome @ Android), and I could install it.

Well, I did download it from Google Play, but now I just get that it can’t be found there anymore. Regardless it was nice with the notifications, that just worked, without have to do any other adjustments. 🙂 ---

Strange, that you haven’t seen it before and I can’t find it anymore, but then now you can find it. Can it be related to country? My says “Downloaded from Google Play” and version 1. Did you downloaded and tried if it actually works? ---

A bit confused, but from Chrome I went to Settings, Notifications, In app notifications, Managed by app. There I did find community.homey.app. I clicked Delete data and reset permissions. And now it’s seems to work again! I still can’t find it in Google Play, but it seems that this app collects the data from Chrome and shows it its own window. ![Screenshot_20250506_003104_Settings](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/e/de42f9239a3c5c2be3ec60311834fe3114127bd6.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20250505_231253_Finder](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/3/6/365901f9fc020f93f30f77495d6e8031dadcd4fa.jpeg) ---

> [@Peter\_Kawa](#): > > and I could install it. Yes, it works. It’s a copy of the forum website, but it has its own notification settings like other apps. The screenshots shown are also from the installed forum app. I actually had seen it before, and I’ve had it installed it before, just to see what the benefits would be. But I only used the pop-up to install it, like I showed on my earlier screenshot.

After a long absence, I also now had the opportunity to reinstall this via a popup, so I’ll see how it works. I’ve missed the notifications, so I hope it works. But it’s strange that it still looks and is called the same as Homey’app.
