### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2021-01-30, version 1.1*

For .99 cents I gave it a try and it doesn’t even work.  I have tried several times and get nothing.  Better apps available and even websites that do this for free.

**Developer response:** The app stoped working because of a changed API. The probllem has been fixed and it’s working again.
