Crashes on startup on M5 iPad

This app used to work great with my old iPad. Now, however, it crashes on startup on my mew M5 iPad. Other keyboard apps continue to work, including those made by IK Multimedia. It seems that SampleTank is incompatible the new iPads. It is high time for an update to fix this problem.

まともに動きません！！！

インストール後、拡張音源を購入or復元しようとしても途中で止まります。その後、アプリ自体が起動できなくなりすので注意してください。
