### 1/5 — Get this app out of here rigth now.

*2026-06-09, version 4.12.4*

So I downloaded this app for science class boy oh boy was my experience…. vErY sPeCiAL to say the least. So first of all this app hacked my iPad and my whole iCloud account causing all of my electronics to turn into loaves of bread. Then when I tried to delete it, it evicted me from my own apartment. After that, SPARKvue proceeded to turn into a kebab monster that has been roaming the streets ever since. (By the way, contact 6767-677-766 if you spot the kebab monster, we need to get rid of him ASAP.) And as if that wasn’t enough, this app also ate part of my left elbow. To sum it all up, TERRIBLE APP, it belongs in a sewer hole.
