To resolve issues with the Vidmate app crashing and not opening, follow these detailed steps:

1. Clear Cache and Data:
- Go to Settings on your device.
- Tap on Apps or Application Manager.
- Find and select Vidmate from the list of installed apps.
- Tap on Storage.
- Choose Clear Cache and then Clear Data. This will reset the app without deleting your videos.

2. Restart Your Device:
- After clearing the cache and data, restart your Android device. This helps refresh the system and can resolve lingering app issues.

3. Update the App:
- Open the Google Play Store.
- Search for Vidmate.
- If an update is available, tap Update. Running the latest version can fix bugs causing the app to crash.
- Alternatively, if you do not have access to the Play Store version, consider downloading the latest APK from a trusted source.

4. Reinstall the App:
- If the app still does not open, uninstall Vidmate from your device:
- Go to Settings > Apps > Vidmate > Uninstall.
- Reinstall the app from a trusted source or the Google Play Store.

5. Check for Device Software Updates:
- Sometimes, the issue may be related to your device's software:
- Go to Settings > System > Software Update.
- Install any available updates, as compatibility issues can affect app performance.

6. Free Up Storage Space:
- Low storage space can cause apps to crash. Ensure you have enough free space.
- Go to Settings > Storage and delete unnecessary files or apps.

7. Check for Conflicting Apps:
- If other apps are interfering with Vidmate, try running Vidmate in Safe Mode to see if it opens without crashing:
- Press and hold the Power button, then long press "Power off" until the Safe Mode option appears. Tap it to restart in Safe Mode.

8. Contact Support or Forums:
- If none of the above steps work, consider reaching out to Vidmate support or browsing user forums for additional troubleshooting tips.
