### 1/5 — Disgusting app

*2026-07-18, version 3.2*

The app is completely unusable it spams advertisements every 2-4 seconds without ever taking a break, this causes people with add blocker  to get all the phone numbers and use it even if you have notifications and use it instantly, the amount of advertisements is disgustin it’s as if the whole app is a shady scam, the devs have 0 moral Atleast take a break after 20 seconds before spamming my another advert within 1-3 seconds of finishing the last one.

What you guys did doesn't make sense. The upgrade is a big mess. I can even receive code on my old email, and it's very annoying. I have a lot of emails, and I can't use them anymore.
