Was good - now won’t load

I loved this app - been using it for months to complete coursework and type up written notes. Used it last night and it was fine. Just tried to open it this morning and it won’t load. I’ve tried everything from reinstalling it numerous times to restarting my phone and it just freezes now. I’m assuming it’s because I am using the £3.99 version and developer has brought out a £6.99 version and they want to force people into using that one. Well - that kind of greediness irritates me so I’ve cancelled my subscription. Shame.

Good tool, bad business practice

I first wanted to test the product. But just after two - just only two! - trials I was forced to pay. Far worse: there was no useful information on the App Store about the cost conditions.
As I‘m unable to test the tool thoroughly I will not recommend or value anything. Sorry guys!
