Downloads

The app is OK, but my biggest frustration is that before I leave home I ask it to download the Blink of the day as I know the signal will cut out on the train.. Yet 30 mins later.. No download and you can see why or progress.. Please sort this.

Don’t waste your money if you want downloads

This app has a real problem with downloads. They sometimes work, then don’t, sometimes work after uninstalling and reinstalling, and sometimes not. Poor.
