If you are experiencing difficulties with an App after updating to iPadOS 17.x, your first step would be to delete the App from your iPad - and then perform a forced restart:

Delete apps on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)

If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:

Press and quickly release the volume button nearest to the top button.
Press and quickly release the volume button farthest from the top button.
Press and hold the top button.
When the Apple logo appears, release the top button.

Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)

Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.

After restart, re-install the App from the App Store.

If the problem persists, the App may require update by the respective App Developer. You would be best contact the Developer to seek assistance:
