Stopped Working

App NEVER WORKED / unable to reach developers

I was very excited to download this app based on the good reviews but now I’m very disappointed on the download. Every time I attempt to open the app it opens and immediately closes. I attempted to reach the developer which the App Store would direct me to external developer’s webpage but that wouldn’t load either. I try to reach through the Apple Store and the only response i get is that have no purchases under this worthless app. Very disappointed!!

App won’t open

I just purchased this app and it won’t open or load at all. I tried deleting and reinstalling and it still won’t open. So frustrating.
