Try closing out of the app by double tapping the device’s home screen button and swiping up out of the app. Then try reopening the app to restart. If the app continues to freeze, check your internet connection to make sure it’s strong and stable. If the app continues to freeze, please reach out to us directly at (877) 639-8631.
Closing out the app for any reason will not lose any info.
