App keeps crashing every time I open it. I’ve tried several times to delete and reinstall but that has no effect. When trying to find some form of online app support to notify them of this it directs to the app home page which always crashes so I’m stuck with a subscription that I paid for and couldn’t use. It was pretty much a con out of my money for an app I used to enjoy using. Would use it again it actually worked.
