“Cost — The app says it free,and when you setup the account then it charges you after a 7 day free trial. It’s very misleading once you have it downloaded.”

Themes reported by reviewers
2 themes reported
Counted from the reviews we have read for this app. "No theme reported" means no theme reached our reporting threshold — it is not a finding that nothing is wrong with this app, and we do not say it is.

“Charged before free trial ends — The app is alright, I already got charged before the free trial ends. The funny thing is that if you allow the push notification. They will not give you a notification at all. Furthermore, they would…”
