Recent reviews

I seem to only be able to use it to review products from Amazon. *Also, for some reason the app is not allowing me to hit the reanalyze button if the previous analysis is outdated. That uesd to work, but is has not in the last two months at least. Will anyone be ablle to fix it to where the "Reanalyze" button will work to perform a second analysis?

Awful recently. Absolutely loved and used this app constantly with Amazon. Unsure whether or not an update has happened recently. Now when I hit the share button, a dialog box about Fakespot AI popps up that leads to nowhere and I cannot "X" out of (X tab doesn't work). I can't even scroll behind this huge obtrusive useless box to analyze. Super vexing.
