How to fix Hotwire not working
When Hotwire itself is having trouble, these steps won't bring it back, but they will rule out anything on your side:
Your browser tries to reach hotwire.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Reload and restart
Reload the page (Ctrl+F5, or Cmd+Shift+R on a Mac), or fully close the app and open it again.
Try another connection
Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data. If it works on one and not the other, the problem is your network, not Hotwire.
Update the app
Install the latest version from the App Store or Google Play. Old versions can stop connecting after a server-side change.
Problems at the same time as Hotwire
Since 12 November, Hotwire's only spike in problem reports overlapped a spike at another service.
When several services get problem reports at once, something they share, such as a cloud host or a network, can be the real cause. Matching times alone do not prove it.

Tip: Hotwire doesn't list a public status page that we know of, so its help centre and the report chart on this page are the best places to check.
How we track Hotwire
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Hotwire, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Hotwire, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. Hotwire doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
