This looks to be a configuration error. The app does a HEAD request to `https://www.snuffhouse.com/user-api-key/new` first, and when I simulate the same, I get back an error:

```plaintext
curl -I https://www.snuffhouse.com/user-api-key/new 130 ↵
HTTP/2 403
server: CloudFront
date: Wed, 10 May 2023 15:11:29 GMT
content-type: text/html
content-length: 919
x-cache: Error from cloudfront

```

We don’t host [snuffhouse.com](http://snuffhouse.com), so I’m not sure what in their stack is blocking these HEAD requests.

This one we do host and it was blocked from the hub because of a configuration issue. The site had some entries in the `allowed crawler user agents ` site setting. That setting is quite heavy-handed, it comes with a big warning: `User agents of web crawlers that should be allowed to access the site. WARNING! SETTING THIS WILL DISALLOW ALL CRAWLERS NOT LISTED HERE!`

I added the Android user agent there, and that fixes the issue on my test Android device.
