### 1/5 — Subscription

*2026-02-11*

I got this app hoping I could deal with page redirects, and it works well, for the first few sites. Then once you get comfortable it forces a subscription on you, which I wouldn’t pay for anyway, but even trying to see how much this supposed subscription would cost was not an option, as the app just wouldn’t even load the options. Not everything needs to be a subscription. Especially since I’m pretty sure this was a paid app…
