My Anki app won't open. I have Mac (OS Monterey)and the icon just bounces continuously without opening, then says application not responding. There is no error message. I have tried deleting and redownloading several different versions, as well as restarting computer, updating computer, and holding Shift key while opening, all without any success. Help???
