Was great...

Seems like the developer for this app has given up - yes everyone’s worst fears for a great app. Can no longer click on the “cart” to purchase items - can it connect to App Store. Sad.

Regional restrictions

Why you didn’t tell us that the app have regional reservations, I paid for it to discover it doesn’t open in my region. Thisvis insane it’s a scam.
