Obnoxious and Annoying Pop up Ads

Ads suddenly pop up and cover the whole screen with no options making the 20 Hz tone generator unusable. Not like other App Ads that show up at the bottom off the screen and give you the option to skip Ad after 30 seconds or so if you are not interested. Terrible to use for short periods and definitely not conducive to encouraging anyone to upgrade.

Ruined

Used to be a nice stripped down utility. Now you’ve got to agree to ten different things before it will open, and if you set your privacy settings too high then oh no it just won’t let you use the app.
