Will not open.

Not worth one star.

I have no idea what the app is like because it won’t open. Downloaded it, and when I try to open it, it crashes every time before anything can even happen. Even deleted and re-downloaded the app a few times. Nothing changed. It’s outdated, maybe the developers gave up on it 🤷🏼‍♂️
