Nicht auf Deutsch?

Ich habe versucht mir die App runter zu laden. Leider ist Dt. als Sprache nicht verfügbar. Woran liegt das???

Konto wurde von Blendle gelöscht - Guthaben nicht erstattet

Blendle hat sich aus Deutschland zurückgezogen und einfach bestehende Konten ohne Ankündigung gelöscht. Guthaben wurde nicht zurückerstattet - auf Nachfrage per Mail wird nicht reagiert.

Edit: Laut Antwort von Blende auf die Rezensiom wurde im August und September in E-Mails auf die Möglichkeit der Erstattung hingewiesen. Auf meinem Antrag zur Erstattung vom 1.10. wurde nie reagiert.

App really changed while I wasn’t using it

Years ago, I enjoyed being able to pay a little to read individual articles. Then I didn’t open the app for years until now, and I found that my account (and the few dollars I had left in it) is gone, and all the suggested articles are in a language I can’t read (Dutch?)

I’m giving this app three stars since I used to like it, but it’s no longer usable for me.

Only in Dutch?

I used to be able to pay for articles from U.S. newspapers and magazines. Now the whole App is in Dutch but I’m not in the Netherlands. Is this even the same app? I’m not sure what happened to the money that was in my account before and how I can get it refunded.
