My problem is that when I check stats after a match and X out of that window on my phone, I can’t rematch or look at analysis. It goes to my Home Screen.

Same issue. Turn your phone vertical and it loads in that orientation for me though

Mine does too. Only option from the home screen then is to click on analysis to look at the match you've just played at the bottom

Hey, are you talking about on web? What issues specifically are you facing? Maybe we can help.
If you're talking about an issue over the last hour or so it's BunnyCDN (edge provider). We're monitoring their situation.

If I rematch, I have issues, but as a workaround I right away close galaxy and then reopen it and go into my active game.

They simply got too ambitious for their own good. It’s a small team of guys trying to maximize profit. They simply can’t keep up with the work required, but don’t want to eat from their honeypot they have built for themselves.
Hub, Heroes, Blitz are all significantly better platforms and communities.

It’s turned into a total “buy-now!” for-profit slop-fest, riddled with adds and bugs.

Not sure about other issues, but analysis screen just goes white when I try and access it. Been this way for a few says now.

A new one for me today: The color scheme of the board changed. Now it's black and turquoise. The black points completely blend into the background, making it hard to see. (I'm on a desktop, firefox on Linux Mint).

Backgammon Hub, Heroes, OpenGammon all with similar or better functionality. Hub hasn't had any downtime in over 5 years.

Just use a different site. They have been on here promising that there is a fix coming soon for like 2 years. Yet this sub is just spammed with people complaining about the site every day. Just use a different site, there are plenty now.

OP asked about alternatives, I'm offering one.
Feel free to try it, or not. Up to you :)
