*2024-09-12, version 2.0.9*

Funny to buy every week 😂 There is no monthly or lifetime requirement The app has some nice things But the payment method is bad It is preferable to purchase one time Because the application is for editing photos and is not for daily use, and is not used as a montage for daily use
