Problems.

The app UI isn’t really iPad friendly, with the widgets and buttons being very small. And simple mode is too simple and restrictive. Not very-customizable

Avoid

Got a registration code online after checking the fre trail. From the source it’s more than the 12-13 number subscription code so it doesn’t work, no place to enter it. Money wasted and the online help is trash. The chat to help is just questions that don’t fit the need.
