Android 6.0 breaks Watchlist App

I can login to the ESX server with the Watchlist app, however, when I Power On a virtual machine, it crashes the app.  This crash occurs on a Nexus 5 with Android 6.0, build MRA58K.  The app works fine on Android 5.1.1; it appears this issue is with the new Android 6.0 Marshmallow operating system.  Thanks.

I can confirm this, same problem.

Update: Just received 6.0 to my Nexus 9 also, and it has the same issue. I can join to what Cberry33 said, it seems that this is a general compatibility problem with Marshmallow.

Any news, when can we expect a fix to this? Is the Watchlist app abandoned?

Watchlist V 1.5.020000 (2437393) is still broken on Nexus 6P running Android build MHC19l. It crashes when I try to start a VM. Is anyone at VMware even going to acknowledge this problem?
