Crashes constantly on M1 iPad and works fine on iPhone

I don’t understand why the app continuously crashes on the iPad, an M1 Pro model. I have the latest version, I tried seething and reinstalling and redownloading, nothing works.

Please give me my money back.

Not free

$8 for a 35 min workout? Nope

App is free. Tours are $10.99 each

It isn’t free. Maybe it’s fair, but it could be more up front about it.

Stops too often

A longer time without overlook stops would be better, at least for 30 minutes.
