Keeps crashing

The moment I downloaded the app it crashed. After waiting a while it crashed again. Waited some more. Crashed again. Still haven't been able to use it.

I've used afterlight since its early days, and it continues to be far and away the best photo editor. and version 6.0 really outdid itself with the 35mm camera. cannot vouch enough for it! <3
