Hi, I have downloaded BioLabDonkey 2.12 from applestore but I am not succeding in using it, it crashes every time I try to open an .xdna file. I thought it would work as a substitute of serial cloner, due to the fact that MaOS Big Sur is not compatible with serial cloner, but I am quite deceived. Is there anybody who can help? Are there some preferences which should be adjusted? Are there any alterative free softwares, which perform well? Thank you very much

You can also try ApE, which isn't quite as full-featured as serial cloner, but is free and has many of the same functions. I think it'll open an xdna file, but it's been a while, so don't take that as fact.
Hi, I am developer of BioLabDonkey. It looks like you didn't report the crash event trough the Apple service, I didn't get anything. Could you send to me the crash report or could you send to me the .xdna file you have tried to open that I can find what caused the problem ? My e-mail you can find at the website - BioLabDonkey
New update of BioLabDonkey - Version 3.2 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/biolabdonkey/id1470827582?mt=12
The user started this post did not give me info what was wrong (no crash report or .xdna file), anyway I have updated the BioLabDonkey and if somebody had a problem with opening .xdna or .dna file I hope in this version they are solved. If not, let me know.
In case if somebody would like to have a view on BioLabDonkey functionality here are some video tutorials:

While the developer has posted about
BioLabDonkeyon Biostars when new versions are released, your best bet is to contact the developer using mechanism provided via App or the website.Could you send to me the .xdna file that I can figure out what caused the crash ?
