### 1/5 — Guess the logo

*2025-05-14*

Lovely

### 1/5 — Refund

*2024-05-01*

I don’t know how my kids got this game on my phone but I was charged 9.99 weeks for 7 weeks didn’t even notice till I looked at my statement. I requested a refund and yal would not give me a refund even though you can go to the app and see it was never used. So its highly upsetting to take 70 out my account when I could’ve spent that on something or an app my kids actually use. Would really appreciate a refund for this. Just from looking at the reviews it says it’s a scam…
