Works as intended

The app works as intended. After a bit of futzing with the firewall I got it to connect. I subtracted one star because of frequent disconnects. Other than that it works well.

Refuses to connect, support won’t respond

I bought this for my iPhone and no matter what I try it refuses to connect. iPad mini version previously worked too, now it won’t connect either. 2 emails ignored so far.
