### 5/5 — Needs crash fix

*2018-12-06*

A top, top app. Just a wonderful thing for linguists. Unfortunately it hasn’t been working properly for some time now. Whenever I try to start it, it crashes. Absolutely not usable in this state. Please, fix the crash issue, the app wasn’t free after all. Cheers
