Stuck in download full app error~

PEU is the easiest, straightforward, no-frills solution to my grammar woes I've found in over a decade of learning English, and I can't thank the talented authors and developers enough for that.
But the difficulty I'm currently having is that I want to use it smoothly on my MacBook. Today I purchased and installed it at full price in the app store, followed the instructions and clicked on the download full app button, and I saw that I needed to download 6M of in-app content. The download was soon completed, but the result was back to zero, nothing happened, still not working properly. I repeated it over and over again, still stuck in the download full app step.

I really want to use PEU on my MacBook as eagerly as I want to meet my girlfriend, please!
