YIKES! Well, we really apologize for that last update that was causing Handy to crash on launch for a lot of you folks. Despite our rigorous testing, we're still trying to diagnose and figure out what exactly is going wrong there and reproduce it on our end. In the meantime we are reverting Handy back to the previous 5.0.7 version (Apple still makes us call it something new, so it's technically 5.1.1 yada yada). Anyways, very sorry about that. If YOU encountered the crashing, and want to help us diagnose and figure out what might be going on via some TestFlight beta testing, PLEASE reach out to us at [email protected]!
