### 1/5 — It just stopped working all of a sudden

*2023-01-16, version 3.0*

For some reason it’s totally stopped working. Every single time I try to launch it I just get a blank black screen. Has the author stopped supporting it. I just looked at the Apple App Store and see that there’s a version 2 added. Both versions are available on the store.
