What the hell?!?!

I wish I could rate it zero stars, none of the reviews said anything about pricing, so I thought it was free, it is on the App Store, but the second I open the app, the company that made it asked for $20 a month. I tried to uninstall the app, but my phone wont let me. Screw this app and all the people who made it!
DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!!

Do not play this game

It’s making me pay for everything and I can’t pay for it

Needs a subscription

I don’t like this game because it needs a subscription for everything even the beginning survey then they give you the hope of reliving your childhood again by letting you download the games only to make you pay for a subscription to play it the only free part of the app is the installation of said app everything else on there needs a subscription one star hands DOWN!!!
