Difficult to start

Don’t know how to start the app

Useless app

Don’t know why this app is even there in app store. It only plays for 1 min whatever the reason and ask to buy full version. If all the features are disabled and only allows to play one minute and ask to buy full version doesn’t even make sense of using it and calling it as lite indeed it’s lie.

Why does this exist?

It stops in a minute! What is the point of this?

Waste of time

If it’s unpaid it won’t even play for more than 2-3 minutes which is so frustrating. I just happily uninstalled it and installed dhwani instead.
