horrible

You can only take three photos for per day. And if you donโ€™t get premium. That sucks!

It should say you need to pay to use it

After you go through all the trouble to download the app etc, in order to use it you need to pay. Why dont you say it before download?!, so we go the next app that does the same for free?

Not fit for purpose

Made the mistake of not using the free trial before purchase. The app is not fit for purpose as it is too slow. When translating in real situations from Chinese to English you canโ€™t use air for age while it buffers. I will be seeking a refund.
