Exercises stopped working. Reinstalled but won’t restore purchase from Apple. Last update was 2 years ago.

Wish there were more apps like this! To the point & highly effective even at first use. Bravo Max Strom (whose guiding voice is steady, gentle and soothing as ever!) & Inner Axis. Looking forward to working with this app longterm.
