### 5/5 — Was one of a kind for years…now it’s malfunctioning

*2022-07-05, version 1.5.1*

I’ve had this app for years and received many free and paid wallpapers from it. Now the developers are asking for a nominal subscription fee and I understand so I signed up, but now I can’t get the part that lets you make your own wallpaper to work. There is also a $.99 fee for premium wallpapers (in ADDITION) to the subscription charge). That’s all ok I guess, but I just want the full functionality of the app if I’ve subscribed to it.
