### 1/5 — Absolute Garbage

*2024-12-23*

Doesn’t work. Crashes immediately after opening.

### 1/5 — Just make it a paid app

*2024-08-24*

I can’t do anything without paying the $20 upgrade. Just make it a paid app, and I may have bought it. Your deceptive method of pretending that any actual features would be available in the free version made me know that I’m not willing to buy it.

**Developer response:** The application is not intended to be deceptive.  Most features are available to allow prospective buyer to see the capabilities without first buying it.  There is also a chart within the App that displays primary features and their availability prior to purchase.  Since the App is not as low priced as others, it seemed reasonable to give you a taste of the capabilities without forcing you to pay upfront.  This is the basis of the In-App Purchase mechanism.  Please reach out to support if you would like your concerns to be further addressed.  Support can be reached via e-mail in the Request Support menu item.
