Have you tried reinstalling the app?
Does the Mac itself crash, or the app?
If it is the Mac itself, are you sure it is the app causing a full crash of the Mac, that does sound unlikely.
Consider reinstalling the app and/or Mac OSX (or go back to an old version (restore?) and reattempt it, followed by another upgrade).
I am also on a Macbook (also M1), Running Ventura, without these issues stated.
Hope this helps, if you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask them!
