User reviews

Falsely advertised

No where in the app description states that a paid subscription is required. They collect your email after you set the account, then they give you the, aha Gotcha!

Response from developer

The description very clearly states that a purchase is required.

Not surprised

Downloaded the app, registered my info, was asked for $49 and some change. Unless you want to pay for this free product....stay away!

Response from developer

Thanks for the review. I really don't know how we could make it any more plainly clear that a subscription is required.
