DON’T DOWNLOAD 😡😡😡😡

I was looking around the App Store when I came across this app. It looked interesting and cool... so I downloaded it said waiting I sat there for over an hour and a half waiting in the end it kicked me out and every time I would try to get back in it would keep king me out.it let me in again and sat there for around 20-30 minutes waiting. It kicked me out and shut off my iPhone. Logged back in and decided to look and the ratings and saw how many bad reviews there was. So if u want to waste your time like I did don’t download please trust me.
