App not accessible after paid

Don't waste your money! I paid for a monthly subscription, but when I want to log in, the button does not work; only the sign-up button works! I asked for a refund, but so far, no one has responded!

Very slow opening and no sync possible with webs

It crashes every time opening the app so I cant review nor add new words.
Also I tried syncing the list on chrome plug in but it doesn’t work so I can access the list only on iPhone.
Could you fix these problems?

Other than that, I like its different types of widget function and also that I can make my own vocab cards.

Bugs and crushes

Before the last patch, app was working all fine but know it crashes a lot, and takes ages for app to turn on and get the main screen!!

Notifications doesn’t work

Great but the general feature doesn’t work - notifications doesn’t work. I turn on notifications settings everywhere, but no notifications

No more push notification??

My phone is currently 17.5.1 And since quite a while ago the app's "notification per day" won't work anymore. I didn't receive any notification at all. Is it because this is a pay function now? Please advise. I tried the free trial (7 days) version...but too no avail. Want to make sure it's not a bug issue before I pay for the app. Please advice. Thank you.

Response from developer

Hi LL2010, thank you for the detailed message, and sorry for the confusion. Push notifications are still supported. In newer versions, notification content and learning progress can be customized, so please go to the Learn Later tab and configure them under Notification Flashcard. Also, please make sure notifications are enabled in iOS Settings and that you’re using the latest version of the app. If you still don’t receive notifications after setup, please contact us through the app’s support/contact option with your iOS version and device model so we can investigate further.
