The app legit doesn’t work at all. ### 1/5 — Some weird glitch *2022-08-19* I bought almost everything and when a call ends Cookie Monster calls again and again with the same call. Now I’m not no coder or anything but I think it’s something with the scheduled calls in the parents menu. ### 1/5 — Don’t buy *2022-02-15* Stupid and absolutely not useful application, it takes about 2 minutes to listen to 6 samples… and that all ### 1/5 — Mystery Charges *2021-10-05* The app just charged me $2.99, but I haven’t subscribed, I can’t cancel a subscription anywhere in my Apple ID and nobody made an in app purchase. We haven’t opened the app on days. Seems a bit dodgy, I hope I don’t keep getting charged! If I do I will need to get Oscar involved :/ ## Frequently asked questions about Cookie Calls ### What does the Cookie Calls app do?
