Stopped working in iOS 11

I am very disappointed this app stopped working iOS 11 and developer seems he gave up updating this app to support and run on new iOS version 11 and +

Won't open

I'd love to actually try this app and hopefully give it a better rating but it won't even open. I get a little music intro and a screen showing "Kitchen Software" but then it stays stuck on that screen and makes a weird noise that sounds half like someone dropping a plastic bowl, half Wheel of Fortune spin.
