Works for a pro 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

I’m not sure what you’re saying about that I can take a picture when I can’t take one because it’s broken 😡 and I’m not sure how you can fix it or fix my account but do something

I saw no changes when I paid for the full version and I am disappointed that there is no Available instructions.

Try something else.

Allows you to view one photo as a trial then caught in an endless loop. I won’t be buying
