  • Attention Arnaque : contenu nul et voix française qui change en espagnol pendant l’écoute
  • Attention au bout de quelques minutes l’écoute devient incompréhensible, la voix prononcé en espagnole les mots français, puis lentement, puis on perd le fil du résumé quand il recommence juste après encore à parler en espagnol avec les mots francais
  • This App was supposed to be free for the day (from AppAdvice). This garbage app charged me $10.99 when it should have been free.
  • This app is a scam. It claimed to be a free book reader on X and there is no book inside.
