You have responded to my review about not being able to access my videos. You have told me to provide you with my account information but have not told me where to send it? Can I have some details on where to send this information. I had sent emails in the past as well as messages on the app. But had no response. So I want to make sure I send them to the correct place.

It lets me create and name an album but I can not add more photos from my phone library because apparently doesn’t recognize I already paid for a year subscription at Apple’s AppStore. The app charged me $15.99 for the subscription. I will give the app 5 stars as soon as the problem is solved because it’s a great app, of course if it works specially after pay $15.99 for a year. I will like to solve this as soon as possible.
