My Tanpura Real is crashing within 2 months

I purchased the Tanpura real app about 2 months ago for rs 399/
All of a sudden, it does not start, and on clicking on it, flashes on the screen & disappears.

It would be good to know if others using it have had a similar experience & how to rectify it.

Thanks,

Pitch D is not in tune

The Sarini and Anusarini at pitch D is out of tune, making it impossible to sing along. The makers should have made a free trial version available so that we can check the quality of the Tanpura before doling out 5 dollars. Now, I am unable to use this app because of the imperfect tuning and worse, I can’t seem to get a refund.
I hope the app developers reply to the feedback email I sent a few days ago. I would appreciate a refund ASAP. Thank you.
