Great app but keeps crashing!

Great content and ideas and works well with other Alan Peat apps and books. Only other massive issue is that it crashes on stage 8 every time! Is it possible to change/fix this.

Happens on the other story making apps too.

Crashing

Crashing on iPad 2 - really not good after all the positive reviews on Twitter. Needs sorting asap.

Now working - gonna be really useful for storytelling/story plans

Disappointing

Sounds like a great idea, but crashes as soon as you press start on the iPad.
