Anyone else having a problem with the FWW app not opening on their IPAD? I have to power down and restart the IPAD to open the app again.

I have been having the same issue
What version of iOS are you running? What model iPad?
These specifics will help us figure out what is going on.
Me too. iPad Pro 10.5”. Running iOS 13.2. Tries to open then crashes.
Why use the app when you can use Safari. Safari works nicely with FWW on my iPad. Am I missing something here?
For the simple fact you can download and read full issues offline.
Thanks for that info. I'm going to check in with Paperlit and see if this is a known bug.
If you look in your app store updates, can you tell if you updated to 18.7.3 three weeks ago?
As far as we're aware, there hasn't been widespread report of issues.
I have the same issue.
I was having the same issues with my iPad. Upgraded to iPadOS 13.2.2 this morning and the app seems to be working again. It did crash the first time after upgrading so I closed the app and reopened it. Been fine ever since.
I guess I spoke too soon. App crashed again.
I’m curious to know are there any other benefits to using the app other than being able to read issues of FWW off-line? I’ve been using Safari and have been satisfied. I’d say nearly 100% of my iPad usage is online. I’m wondering if I’m missing out and should try the app.
Yes, using 18.7.3
We have a ticket in with Paperlit, the company that does the app. I'll try and keep this thread updated when I get more information.
iPad Pro (12.9”) iOS 13.2.2
Crashed 1st 2 attempts after iOS update and opened on the 3rd try. Similar to my experience prior to updating to 13.2.2
Thanks
Seems to be fixed now, thanks.
