Hello Megan,
I reinstalled the app a couple days ago, there was no change. I just now reinstalled, and cleared the cache - no change.
However, I discovered that I can save pictures from a couple months ago (still no export option) I have to use the "open in" option and I can save those images to my photos. But my most recent images uploaded from my PC, the "open in" option does not work and still returns the "Couldn't communicate with a helper application" error when I try to go that route. I'm obviously unsure if this is an issue with my iPhone, the app, or both but I am getting increasingly frustrated.
