Is useless don’t waste money

worse scam everworse scam ever

Stopped working

At first it was doing fine! My apps ads were being cut short, which made things more tolerable. However, now it’s not. I downloaded this app last night, and haven’t reached the assigned 300,000 queries limit it has. As I’m typing I’m up to 13,089. I have no explanation for why its stopped working, but I’m very disappointed. 👎
