Description of problem (please provide a set of steps we can use to replicate the issue, and make as many as you need.): Upon opening the app, it immediately closes and returns to the phone’s home screen.

The same happens for me, but I guess that is just because of my old phone… I can not really use the App on the cell - it crashes every single time.

Which devices are you using, and which version of iOS/iPadOS is it running?

I’m having the same problem since the last update on both an iPhone XS Max running iOS 17.17.1 and an iPhone 13 mini with iOS 18.1.

What happens if you delete the app and reinstall it?

Today, deleting and re-installing cured the problem on the 13 mini. :smiley:
New installation hadn’t helped previously. I’ll try it again with the XS max when I have access to it on Friday.
