User reviews

Too many ads that get stuck

This app has too many ads and they get stuck making it so the only way back to your reference is to act as if you are purchasing the games. It completely interrupts the artist flow and pulls me out of my work- continually… I am deleting it and looking for another one.

What it going on?

I love this app but today I could barely browse pictures without being interrupted by ads for apps. So disappointing. Specially since I paid for Pro. I should not have to see ads for both apps I’d I paid for pro

Don’t warn you it’s only a Trial

They never warn you it’s a trial and you Must pay to continue. I hate scammers like this The trial options don’t even give you enough to judge if it’s worth trying.... so to me nor worth buying and being sucked into the unknown

Response from developer

I'm sorry that you are disappointed, but the information about "trial" is right here in the app description in App Store. Also on the home screen of the app - right after installation. The trial itself lasts for 6 days - seems enough to evaluate to me. But most importantly please don't call me a scammer, thank you.
