### 1/5 — No way to try out product

*2025-09-25*

You open the app and the trial begins. You configure settings and then you must restart app.  You restart the app and the trial is over.  You get a 69 min extension that you can use only once.  Once you close the app for restart after more configuration the extension is over.  I used 2 minutes on each part, the trial and extension, and now i  use it until I buy it.  I have no idea if it works or not, and zero ways of finding out if it works.
