Doesn’t work

I was excited when I heard about this app because I love the Arboretum. However, when I download it and open that app, it just shows a page with an image of a tree and a “processing” image that never stops. I have checked system compatibility, tried re-installing several times, and checked to be sure I have space on my phone, to no avail, and I don’t see a way to get tech support from the arboretum.
