Why do I get a blank white screen when I click on Preview from the Utilities Screen?
With both the request for a printable copy and previewing the printable copy, the app must communicate with the College Checklist website. The availability of these features depends on your device and it's connection to the Internet. You have to have a valid connection, either a cellular connection with a valid data plan, or on the wi-fi side. You can test your connection by using a browser app, such as Safari, or other apps that you know can access the Internet. In Safari, try hitting our website: http://www.latestcraes.com If you can't - you'll have to take care of that before you'll be able to use these features. If you can get to our website with Safari, then the Preview should work, you just may have to give it some time. If the connection to the internet is slow it may take a while for the Preview image to appear.
