**Restart the App:** Close the app completely and relaunch it. Swipe it away from the recent apps or force close it, then reopen it to see if the issue persists.

**Update the App:** Ensure that you have the [latest version](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/159680/how-can-i-install-the-latest-version-of-sql-server) of the app installed.
