### 5/5 — Why am I getting ads on an app that I pay monthly for?

*2025-05-02*

I’ve been using this app for almost 2 years and I’m paying a monthly service to do so. This newest update now plays an unskippable ad every time you open the app. Get rid of it or I will get rid of you.

频繁的广告非常烦人

### 5/5 — 不错的好软件

这款软件我一直在用，存储文件方便，又好加密，可以长期无偿使用。真的良心软件，必须赞一个！

### 1/5 — 可以删除了
