### 1/5 — Falsely advertised as free - avoid this app!

*2025-08-11*

As other users have noted, despite the text of the app description saying you have the option to upgrade to a paid subscription, this is false and you will become unable to use the app unless you purchase a subscription. Avoid this app at all costs as this is intentionally deceiving and predatory.
