App crashes after seconds using Apple Pencil

[Spieß]

Hey there, 

I just registered myself to share my problem. I have red similar cases in which the app crashes after seconds, without a particular reason. I live in Germany/Berlin and currently study architecture. I use affinity both on my MacBook Pro as well as on my Ipad Pro. But for some reason the App continually crashes after using the same document for more than an hour. It only takes seconds for the crash, not giving me the option to save. When I try to exit the document the App crashes. It is quite tiring having to work a long shift even further extended, because it takes at least twenty attempts to save one line. But I now realized through a different post, disconnecting the Apple Pencil is a solution for not having the app crash. So I now can work again, after hours of trying, but only using my fingers. The same occurs using affinity photo. It has occurred to me different times. Sometimes I can use the pencil and than out o nowhere the app continues to crash when I try to work on my document. 

I really like working with affinity, but this is really annoying and time consuming. For now I will continue using my fingers, but it would be great if someone has a solution for me on how to use my pencil again. 

Thanks
