Examplify Uninstall (Simple/Clean)
If Examplify is having application related issues (not loading or prompts an "tamper" error) you will need to uninstall and reinstall the app.
A simple uninstall and reinstall from the Apps setting in Windows or by dragging the icon to the trash in Mac is all you need.
