Too many ads

Has an ad every 5-8 seconds. They don’t last long but it’s almost impossible to use with that many interruptions. Will be deleting.

Scam - Did not honor lifetime purchase

I bought the app when it was a one time fee to have no ads. Then the app developer changed their pricing methods to monthly subscriptions and did not honor my original purchase. I should be refunded my money or grandfathered into new subscription method.
