Why wont a sideloaded KOBO app not access the internet?

I am trying to access my KOBO account on my new (to me) Blackberry playbook (16 Gb)
Running OS Vr 2.1.0.1917
KOBO app is ver. 3.1.1721
I know the Wifi is working as I can open Google just fine.
I tried deleting and re-installing the app but no luck.
Any ideas what is going on?

App is out of date. I know the BB10 app now always gives a 'no internet' error error, when there is Internet available. What it means is that it can't talk to the servers it expects at Kobo anymore. You're out of luck, sorry.
