I've been using this app for awhile now but starting today it wont even open. I've tried it on two different android phones but the app crashes instantly. I noticed there was an update today. Could that be the problem?

Thanks for the reply. Downloading the previous version did work. Wasn't sure that was the issue because I didn't think my phone auto-updated the app so I thought maybe the update would fix it.

OK, time for some good news: the guilty one was arrested!
Apparently the Android Proguard system (which is only used on release builds) caused a problem. This problem caused FacePoseApp to crash on startup...
We have fixed the problem and released the new 1.4.5 version of FacePoseApp. This version should be stable. If you still experience problems, please check the app version (Settings/Apps/FacePoseApp) and make sure it is the latest version...

I had no options for uninstalling updates so I used apkmirror, as suggested in that link you sent, to manually install an older version but it looks like that's not needed anymore with the latest update. Thanks for all the help!

Hello W.I. ,
Indeed: the update (and the fix for it) are broken. On our test-system it works fine, but when released, it does not.
I now suspect that the usage of 'third party libraries' (in this case, the Visage tracker) is somehow blocked in the new target.
We are trying to fix the problem, but unfortunately reverting to the previous stable version is not supported by Google :(
A temporary fix may be, to uninstall the updates you recently installed for FacePoseApp. A description of the procedure can be found here: https://techviral.net/roll-back-older-version-of-app-android/
Could you try that?
Thanks for the reply. Downloading the previous version did work. Wasn't sure that was the issue because I didn't think my phone auto-updated the app so I thought maybe the update would fix it.
Thanks for your feedback: I'm glad that at least you have a working version again :).
Did you use the method described in the link I posted? Or did you use another?

Thanks again for your feedback. I'm always willing to help a happy customer ;)
A question for FacePoseApp users: we have upgraded FacePoseApp to use the latest v9.1b4 Visage tracker. We think the tracker is more accurate.
Of course, we would like to be sure and ask you to test it for us. If you want to, please send me PM in this forum.
