Fix a crash in some iOS versions.

Still crashing

I figured I’d give it a shot cause a lot of the reviews saying it crashes when you try and open it we’re over a year old and it had said that the developer had fixed some bugs that cause crashes. When I first downloaded the app and opened it directly from the App Store, it opened and worked exactly as hoped, great app. However once I closed it the first time and tried to open it again it simply won’t open at all, it tries but it doesn’t manage. I wish they would get this fixed cause the version you can use on their website for free is great and the app version is even better, but the app is basically useless to most people simply cause it won’t open.

Doesn’t work

Paid the 1.99 (any way to get a refund?) and the app won’t even open on my iPhone.

Crashes constantly

Used to be a great Application. Crashes on startup now. Developer needs to do an update ASAP.

Doesn’t work with iOS 13

This app should be removed from the store. It does not work.

Quit working

Initially purchased in September of 2018. At first the app worked great but suddenly stopped working in October or so and just disappeared from my iPhone. I downloaded again and all it does is make the phone “flash” but doesn’t open the app. Deleted and reloaded several times but the app still doesn’t work. Sent email to website but never received an answer. Very disappointed.
