## Review summary

Most reviews describe a broken payments/ownership experience: purchases (lifetime or yearly) aren’t honored, receipts are invalid, or purchases can’t be restored. Users report the app becoming unusable after payment, perpetual prompts to pay again, and repeated charges. Support is often unavailable, and many feel the developers have abandoned the app. Overall, the product is seen as unreliable, with degraded usability and poor after-sales support.

### Cons

- Paid for lifetime or annual access but features are not available and accounts show no purchases, with reports of invalid receipts or failed restore.
- App stops working or becomes unusable after payment or updates; upgrade/paid features remain locked.
- Developers appear abandoned or unresponsive; no updates or help despite paid access.
- Customer support is unresponsive or non-existent; refunds and issue resolution are not provided.
- Users are repeatedly prompted to pay again or are charged multiple times despite previous payments.
