Crashed after one use.

I’ve used Comic Life on my MacBook Pro for years and loved it. Recently got an iPad Pro and immediately installed Comic Life. Made a social story par excellence, tried to print it, share it and otherwise enable children and teachers to use the visual. All unsuccessfully - which I assumed was a technical issue on my end. Teachers said the emailed PDF file was a green screen. I wasn’t even able to send it to myself.
But I’m in a new school on a new system, so figured it was operator error.
Restarted the iPad.
Comic Life then crashed repeatedly and wouldn’t open the visual I’d made.
Tried everything I could think of to retrieve the visual and load the application.
Ended up deleting and reinstalling the app.
Boo.

Great functionality but unreliable

Working with students drawing their own comic panels and using the app to put it together and add text. I like that it is easy to use. Unfortunately the app randomly opens to a string of error messages and a black screen with no way to fix it short of reinstalling from scratch. It wastes time and I’m worried about losing students hard work.

This is a pricey app for what it does and I expect it to at least work properly. Very disappointed.

Hi there. Please don't delete the app - or you will lose all the documents.
Remove Comic Life from your list of open apps (double tap home button, and swipe Comic Life up to remove from your list of apps open) - then go to Settings > Comic Life > Troubleshooting > and toggle "Reset Application State".
And then try to launch Comic Life again, and it should launch properly.
Please contact plasq@plasq.com if you continue to have issues.
