Immediately force closes on iOS 12.3.1

Application cannot be opened on a 7 Plus running iOS 12.3.1


5 stars if it didn't crash on rotate

Solid and simple app that does everything you need it to without any fiddly extras. However, if portrait lock is off the app always crashes when the phone rotates. I would rather it stay locked in vertical than try to rotate and crash!


Instant crash on open

Installed, tried to use. Instantly crashes. For what should be a simple wrapper around a reader api, it’s amazing it doesn’t just work.


App crashes on load in iPS 13.0

Three stars because the app crashes on startup. Not 1 star because I’m not a jerk.

Ironic. Worked fine initially and nothing but crashes since.
