Response from developer

Thanks for your support, we will continue to optimize the feature and stability.

⚠️DO NOT DOWNLOAD: This app is a spam

This app keeps getting downloaded to my phone even after I deleted. I have no idea how it did that.

Response from developer

Hi there, we're sorry for the confusion! Technically, an app cannot reinstall itself on iOS. This usually happens if 'Automatic Downloads' is turned on in your Settings or if the app was 'Removed from Home Screen' rather than fully deleted. Please check your App Store settings or ensure the app is fully deleted from your App Library. We hope this clears things up!
