Disappointed

I did enjoy the app when using although basic it did help as I have ADHD and dyslexia so struggle with reading. However when trying to cancel my free trial they made it impossible to do so. Meaning they tried to then take a years subscription from my bank luckily I don’t keep all my money in that account so it wasn’t able to take it today. Have tried contacting them as I had decided not to continue on with the subscription as it defo wasn’t worth the price which they were going to charge however I’m very disappointed with the service and the fact you can’t simply unsubscribe. From what I can see they make it impossible to unsubscribe so you are tricked into paying the outrageous price.

Glitchy to the point where it’s unusable

The app keeps kicking me out every time I try to hit play on the document. The device is an iPhone 17 with the latest iOS
