App crashes

I downloaded the app after stumbling on the site, and think this would be a fabulous resource for patients and clinicians.
The app crashes without actually opening, even though I have re- started my phone and downloaded the app twice

Notifications?

While I am one who turns off notifications for as many apps as possible, I think this app would benefit from a notifications feature. The challenge of Choosing Wisely as a clinically useful tool is I never know when something new is posted. I wouldn’t mind Notifications feature for this purpose
