升级后无法使用

我用了3年一直非常稳定，前两天突然莫名其妙自动升级了，导致我根本无法启动和使用，升级了设备系统，也没用，联系他们的技术支持根本没人理睬，另外使用该应用手机会严重发热，不会超过半个月就会电池鼓胀而损坏，已经坏了两个手机，不过都是旧手机所以也无所谓，现在都在用冰袋，购买的订阅看样子只能捐赠了

Best free option

This is hands down the best free option, the more popular apps are entirely overrated in comparison to this app. Good quality and has the option to record 24/7 without asking for a subscription. Happy with this app
