Unusable in its current state

I upgraded to the newest version and it has become a rotting husk in my applications folder. Upon launch the application crashes immediately. Despite deleting the app and preferences before reinstalling it, nothing seems to bring this app back to life. Currently it is worthless as I cannot use it and will be seeking an indefinite replacement. Im using a 2011 Macbook Air, Mac OS X 10.7.5. Very disappointed.
