*2024-02-08*

Não presta não pega e tem q paga vai pró inferno com propaganda enganosa

### 1/5 — INPOSSIBLE TO WORK WITHOUT PAYMENT

*2024-01-06*

The app will trick you into thinking you can do anything at all before a minute long ad pops up. The ad will finally end and you’ll think you can click at least two buttons before another ad but it will keep popping up ads, until you give up.

### 1/5 — Без бабла без полезен

*2023-12-05*

Может и не плохое приложение ! Только без оплаты оно бессмысленно ! Без навигации только громкость ())
