Junk

It’s not the $4 you’ll regret, it’ll be all the time you waste trying to get worthwhile results out of it.

Waste of Money

Very limited features. Missing super basic options.

Terrible software

You can’t do anything.

Waste of money

This thing is old and antiquated!

Not worth the small price tag

I spent three hours trying to get something similar to what I wanted. This app lacks so many features that an experienced user would use. $5.69 and I’ll never use it again.
