“Word of the day” I am unable to access? Why

Please help access “ word of the day” for me. It is a little routine I enjoy. 👌👍🙏

Beware! Don’t buy!

I purchased this App some time ago. It has stopped working and the greedy sods who made this App expect me to pay for a new version. Jam it up your ………. (Can’t think of a word, I have an unusable dictionary)

Response from developer

There were issues with Apple's licensing system. I was never possible to pay for the app twice. Please download the latest version (14.0). That fixes the issue. Sorry for the inconvenience.

‘Total failure’?

My installed and paid for version of this app now reports ‘total failure’ and directs me to the App Store. The updated version requires a new payment of the full amount. There is no explanation of what is going on.

Response from developer

There were issues with Apple's licensing system. Please download the latest version (14.0). That fixes the issue. Go to AppStore > [your account] > "Update all" and it will download if you are on WiFi. Sorry for the inconvenience.

App doesn’t work, wants me to pay again

After the most recent update the app no longer works and keeps asking me to purchase it - I already purchased the app and I’m not going to buy it again. I emailed the developer twice and no response. Don’t use this app!
