### 1/5 — Not free

*2013-04-06*

Deceptive, this is not a free app.

### 1/5 — not free

*2012-07-12*

I really resent an app that claims it is free, but once you install it, then the subscription rate appears.  This has put me off even considering the paper copy when I see it on the newstand.
Don't install this app, based on the word "free".
