APP UPDATE CAUSING CRASHING!

Niantic, the addition of a shiny Magikarp is AWESOME, but the app update is making it impossible to play the game for some people! A friend and I have been tweeting at you about the bug that is causing crashing, but we cant even get an answer or even some kind of acknowledgement from you! I really want to participate in the festival, but how can I when I cant even play the game? PLEASE work on this soon! Ive tried restarting my phone and redownloading the app. My phone is up-to-date, so I dont know what to do!
