The app has stopped working right. I want a REFUND!

This is what I wanted in an app

### 1/5 — Waste of money. Doesn’t work.

*2020-04-14, version 1.3.3*

It generates hashtags but doesn’t tell you their performance ?! What’s the point ? Also when you try to generate hashtags from a photo an error keeps popping up regardless if you use WiFi or 4g. 
Waste of time and money

After the update, the hashtag box is black and cannot see what I am typing. Please fix this.
