I am at peace

### 1/5 — What A Lie. Total Rip Off

*2022-06-12*

First, the gnome doesn’t show up at all on your picture and then it is so badly pixelated that it just looks stupid. I really thought this would be so much fun to use.  The only thing I say is they should home the federal trade commission doesn’t get after them for false advertising and false representation.  

Gees!  What a rip off in time spent on it and for the poor people or kids who think it just might work.
