App no longer opens

For the last two weeks I have been completely unable to open the app on my iPad. The little puzzles just buffer endlessly. Tried usual offloading and refreshing app to no avail. Mum also had the same problem on her device -different account. Can't find a way to reach the developer to comment on this but it is really frustrating. Luckily I can still access my account online but this app is now a waste of space.
