Unauthorized charge

Tried to contact but received no response regarding the $119 charge to my account. I am disputing the charges with my bank for a fraudulent charge.

Charged me when I never subscribed

I opened this app once never subscribed to it never used it and now I’m being charged $89.99 and cannot reach anyone for a refund. I’ve tried through Apple and so far nobody has responded. If I am issued a refund, I will remove this review.
