- Go back to AppValley; the screen should be clear. If not, just delete it and start again

- Enable Airplane Mode on your device
- Go into Settings>Safari
- Tap on the Clear History and Website Data option
- Now tap on Clear History and Data
- Come out of settings, disable Airplane Mode, and leave your device for a few minutes
