Bad choice

I bought this but all it does is take photos. There’s one quote and I can take its photo. Period. What a rip-off.

The app is unusable.

I cannot change the font color and it has the font set white on a white background.

Bad, bad and bad to use

App, know thyself! I entered a quote in the search area and nothing came up. Then I separately entered the name of the person who said the quote, and the quote popped up! Kind of useless.

Don’t buy this

This is the first time I’ve been so disappointed in an app that I tried to get a refund. It wouldn’t work, and I think Apple should remove this product altogether.
