### 2/5 — Do any of the videos have sound?

*2025-08-06*

Would be so much more helpful if there were sound. Is this a paid feature? Would buy it if it was, but because the free portion and no sound in the videos I will look elsewhere. Otherwise would love it.

### 1/5 — Tried to buy it and it won’t let me

*2020-06-24*

I have emailed asking for help purchasing and no response. I can’t see to get the purchase button to work.  I would really like to have the full version

**Developer response:** Hello, we have not received your email. Can you send it again and maybe a screenshot so we can have a look at it? Kind regards
