Please update app to work with iOS 11!! I love this app and use it everyday and since I updated my phone yesterday I can’t open it anymore.

### 3/5 — Please update

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with iOS 11. Don’t waist your money

*2018-06-22, version 5.3*

I used to love this app and would use it every day. It has not been usable for some time. I also sent an email and got no response. Don’t waist your money. It’s very disappointing.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work- please update.

*2018-05-11, version 5.3*

App hasn’t been updated in 4 years. Doesn’t work for iPhone.

### 1/5 — App needs update to be compatible with iOS 11

*2018-03-07, version 5.3*

Well it seems many people are having the same problem I am with this app and it’s non existing compatibility with iOS 11. What’s worse is the email I just sent is not going to be responded to as one person mentioned in his review. 
It is a paid app so it seems something should have to be done so I can keep using it. Frustrating.

### 2/5 — Update

Please update this app! I really like it but I can’t use it anymore since it’s not updated!

*2018-01-09, version 5.3*

When are you going to update this app for us to use?

### 1/5 — UPDATE NEEDED

*2017-12-31, version 5.3*

Purchase this App and use in conjunction with an Iphone. 

As of 10/2017 I haven’t been able to use the App due to the developer not UPDATING THE APP. 

PLEASE REFUND MY MONEY OR UPDATE THE APP. 

YOU'RE SUPPOSE TO BE A PROFESSIONAL.

YOU ARE SUPPOSE TO ESPOUSE THE PRINCIPLES OF RECOVERY.

### 3/5 — BlahBlahBlah

*2017-12-30, version 5.3*

App was great but developer won’t update for iOS 11. Won’t even open now. App hasn’t been updated in 3 years and no response to Emails sent  to developer. Unfair to paid users.
