Latest update locks up after login

On iOS 15.7 and iPadOS 15.7, the latest update locks up, freezes, and crashes after login.

When this app is functional, it is actually very good as it accesses a variety of platforms.

Quit working on the last upgrade just locks up after loading

Was good

Please fix

Used to be a great way to get into secon life and at least text friends
The last update broke it so it locks up as soon as you login

Impossible to get chat logs off app

This app is functional, but the experience is not good. I haven’t been able to backup my chat logs or transfer them off the app. Chat logs also seem to delete if they become too large.

Unusable

Used to work just fine but now I experience nonstop crashing with the recent updates and have given up on using the app altogether. Hopefully one day a mobile version of SL will be possible, thanks for giving it a try!
