Fix your app can never open it it just crashes ### 1/5 — Crashes when trying to launch app *2022-11-29, version 2.9.6* Just subscribed to Packt and was excited to start learning a few new things but I have not been able to open the app at all it will crash every time I try an open the app. ### 1/5 — Crashes immediately when opened *2022-11-17, version 2.9.6* The title of this review says it all. The info in the App Store suggests that the last update was 3 years ago? The developer probably lost interest. ### 1/5 — Latest version doesn’t run on iPad 10.2 *2022-09-13, version 2.9.6* Used to at least work. I have canceled my subscription because the site is down a lot and clunky. And this app starts to open, then disappears on the iPad 10.2 pro. I know it’s older, but when I bought it the app worked fine. Then they updated it and it broke. I have moved to a more expensive subscription -> but it just @#$@# works. —> from a different company. I recommend the same. ### 1/5 — Totally disappointed *2022-08-12, version 2.9.6* Earlier the app used to work OK. I faced issues with crashing, unable to download, unable to load content and on and on… but now I’m not even able open the app. ### 1/5 — Immediately crashes when launching *2022-05-29, version 2.9.6* Why does this app still exist? It does not even open and no updates in the last 2 years. ### 1/5 — Awful *2022-05-13, version 2.9.6* Take the app down if you are not going to fix any of the issues! It doesn’t work at all. People pay for a subscription with essentially no support. Bad business practice and state of mind!I can’t believe the lack of attention to these issues! Packt, you should be ashamed! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2022-05-12, version 2.9.6* It won’t even launch. And looking at the reviews, it’s been broken for a while. It’s pretty clear the developers just don’t care. So don’t bother with it. ### 1/5 — Can’t even open the app *2022-05-03, version 2.9.6* As other have mentioned. The app won’t even open now. I tried deleting it and reinstalling it, but it still doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2022-04-17, version 2.9.6* App will not start. The website works … that’s okay but the books are not the most current for the topic. The few books I like happen to be freely distributed. If you’re going out of business please do so either that please give software & material that’s working & current. ## Frequently asked questions about Packt ### What can I do with this app?
