Can’t use it anymore without update:(

Loved it—Needs updated!

I cannot use this app either of my devices now. Need to update iOS ASAP! I have no problem with changing my review when this is done. But right now it’s not even a one star. But that’s the lowest I can give it.

It’s over a year. Please update

Hi canon,

It’s been over a year I can’t use this app. You will lose customers.

This is taking way to long.
