## Review summary

The app is visually appealing with glowing icons and good wallpapers and is easy to use, but reliability is a major issue. Many users report it doesn’t work as advertised, crashes when using photos, and charges or misleading update prompts. There are also compatibility problems (notably with iPhone 5) and concerns about download delays and upfront payments. Overall, strong visuals but significant reliability and trust concerns.

- Long download times and upfront payments/charges before use.
- Disruptive update popups that feel malware-like.
