6.99 a month, excuse me?

I paid for the lifetime deal of ES file explorer on android a while ago and it won’t let me activate my license on the iOS app. I would have considered paying for a one-time app purchase for the iOS version but then all I see is a $6.99 per month option lol, come on…. Pass. Someone else will get my money now.

Not working & missing lifetime option

Upon initial login to a private server it worked. Subsequent attempts to connect to the same server were met with being unable to connect.

The in app purchase list says there’s a lifetime option, but the app doesn’t show it.

I’ll update my review when it’s fixed.
