**Reported bugs**

- After clicking free trial and putting in the option just for photos and files it recommended me to the premium and after that I can't go nowhere else until I buy premium.
- Where are the account settings ?  And how do I cancel this app?
- The game is very wonderful in the ads but there's just several problems with the storage cleaning. I tried cleaning duplicate photos and photos I dont need and it makes me go to the free trial no matter how many photos i choose. I am clueless about what to do in the app, now.
- After watching a video so you can clean your phone another popup about your phone is sick and you can't get back to where you should be after watching the video. It takes you to Google Play to download load it and no way to return to the earlier screen. This has gotten worse in the past several months.
- It sometimes blackens my screen totally for a while when I try to boost my apps. Maybe this is due to the "display over other apps" setting.

**Requested features**

- Need some updates..
- Making it easier for me to use so far.
