Hm, the version 0.17.0 from github keeps crashing on me the way 0.16.2 from Google Play did not. Installed the Google Play version back.

If you are moving back and forth, you have to delete the local storage. Otherwise the app will crash because it doesn't recognize the signature that was there.
Back and forth between APK and PlayStore
How do I delete the local storage?
The (new version of the) app did ask for the private key.
Android settings > apps > select amethyst > storage > clear data
Exact path could be different depending on your version of Android...
It's recommended to just stick with either using the playstore version, or sticking with the APK sideloaded version. Otherwise you have to clear data and/or completely uninstall every time you switch.
