Deceptive

No way to test the app without subscribing. As soon as you open the app, the paywall blocks everything and can’t be closed. I am happy to pay for something if I know what it is, but the paywall just says pay 50$ to use…

Deceptive onboarding

The app tries very hard to get you to buy the subscriptions. They make it seem like it’s the only option. Would give zero stars.
