I believe the app needs to be updated; it was working fine until Edge was updated. I had a look, and the app has not been updated.

If you can't get it to work, try it in a different tab on a different website. It doesn't launch on this page, for example, but does on others I've tried. Then go into the settings and untick all the tools you won't use, so it takes up less space.
