Also included: advanced notification actions, multi-line and block comments, offline review beyond the free allowance, and the iPad review workstation, where you comment and finish reviews with keyboard commands from its Review menu. - Restore Purchases is in Settings. Native on iPhone and iPad. No ads, and no cross-app tracking: nothing is shared with data brokers or used to follow you across apps and sites.
