### 1/5 — Not at as expected

*2025-04-02*

You have to pay the subscription to get any info. Once you pay, it gives a scale but doesn’t provide information as to why. Cancelled immediately after subscribing, and deleted the app immediately after canceling. Still can’t get a refund. What a waste.

**Developer response:** Dear User, You have to pay just when you need to use a few upgraded features of our app; other than that the app is free. Still, if you are unhappy with our app and have any difficulty, please contact us at feedback@pixsterstudio.com
