Trying again

I stopped using this app several years ago. Now I am going to take it up again, and as I am seeing all the helps and training that it offers, I’m excited to be writing again.

Waste of Money

This App does not contain any of the features it claims , such as the notebook , load images etc. it’s a complete ripoff, I tried to contact them but no luck. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY !!!
