After update on Nov. 20th VLC 2.8.5 crashes immediately after start on iOS 7.1.2.

On iPhone 6 /iOS 8.1.2 can't open app anymore.
Is there any way to get back to the previous version?

Same story here:

App begins to load we do not even get to the first screen.

Ipad Air 2 (never updated, still at iOS 8.1), 2.8.4 was ok

Same here, see crash report in other thread

Addition: On my iPad Air (iOS 11.1.1) it works fine.

Same here. It was working fine but after the Nov 20th update it's DOA. Would be happy to go back to the previous version if possible.

Hi, This will be resolved in version 2.8.6 very soon. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Since this is starting to happen almost regularly (every other update has some kind of bug), is there any way to fall back to previous version when something like this happens?

So instead of waiting for a week or two to get more recent update (which may not work either) one can still use older but stable version.

Just checked updates.
Update is 2.8.6 is working.
Thank you!
