### 2/5 — In app purchases required to use it

*2018-07-04*

When I opened this app for the first time, I was prompted to download a timetable. I also got a message that I have a free 1 month subscription and after that I need to pay (maybe $3.99, don’t remember) to get updates to keep the timetable up to date. I was really taken aback by that.
