### 2/5 — Was great until recently

*2026-02-16*

I used to love this app and kept on meaning to leave a 5 star review. It did exactly what it said and very nicely - it still does. However, recently (past few days) I’ve started getting full screen adverts which are about 5-15 seconds long and completely ruin the app. Therefore I will be looking for a new one. The banner adverts displaying at the bottom of the app before were completely fine, but full screen video adverts? No.

### 1/5 — Won’t load
