Aggressively tries to make you purchase a subscription

Used to be great. But now every time I try to use a feature or even just zoom in, a pop up covers the entire screen trying to get me to buy an annual subscription. Makes it borderline unusable.

Please read before download

There are way too many pop ups for their $120 a year subscription.
