### 1/5 — Scam

*2019-08-04, version 1.1*

This app charged me £7.49 for 6 weeks! I was totally unaware until I came across it on my statement one day. I don’t even have the app installed!! They don’t have any way to contact them to ask for money back. It’s a total scam!!! I want a full refund!! They should not be allowed to exist.

### 1/5 — Randomly taking £5.99 a month?

The review above, thank you for showing me how to delete this! This app has been taking money for months. I haven’t used it at all, refund please.

### 1/5 — 这个app真的傻逼

这app一直扣我钱 真的傻逼 要去app store subscription掉它

### 1/5 — This app is only out to take your subscription money

*2019-07-24, version 1.1*

The app is awful so I immediately deleted. Foolishly I didn’t realise that was not enough and they’ve endlessly charged me since then. Just awful. I have now cancelled the subscription which I didn’t realise I had to do. Very upsetting.

### 1/5 — App sucks and it’s a scam

*2019-06-27, version 1.1*

I downloaded the app to check it out and deleted it 15 min later as it sucked. I did check my Apple acct to see about charges and it appeared all was ok. Now 4 weeks later I am seeing that it had been taking payments out of my Apple acct. such a scam. Should get all those funds returned as I didn’t even use the app and it was deleted off my phone completely. Such bs

### 1/5 — rubbish app
