Didn’t Work don’t waste your time

This might just be a problem with my phone but I installed the app and it would open for a split second and then close out the tab by itself. Again this may be my phone but I have lots of free storage so I’m unsure what happened.

As most of these guys are saying this app is a piece of junk because it crashes as soon as you open it so please fix it until it is fixed I’m only ratting it because it won’t let me send otherwise

Got the app to show kids at our children’s church a video, opened the app and just kicked me right back out, wouldn’t even open to try and work.
