I had to delete it. ### 1/5 — Nothing but ads *2025-11-09, version 2.6* An annoying app that presents a lengthy commercial with each press of a button.

With Kind Regards-BR ### 2/5 — No longer working *2025-06-29, version 2.6* It maybe a user error but I was able to use it before. I paid the nominal amount so that isn’t the problem.
