Redeemed LIFETIMETRACE code back in November ‘25, fast forward to today and it’s offering me LIFETIME access for $40, was a cool app but how can you get away with this bait and switch? I already had Lifetime but now I have to pay to access it? Please help Update : Developer reached out and asked I SS the paywall pic and when I opened the app to do so the restore option was showing now and I hit restore and I’m back being a lifetime pro, love the app just was mad I lost Lifetime access for a bit

This app is worth every penny you spend. It was already a very useful and beautiful app, but in recent updates, it has become much smoother and faster. Now, with the ability to categorize screenshots, and also the addition of the Mac version, I think everyone should have this app on their device.

The app looks clean and well-designed. One issue: Imported Chrome bookmarks show up as raw HREF links instead of proper URLs, which makes them hard to use. Fixing that would help a lot. A web dashboard to manage saved and imported bookmarks would also make the workflow smoother. Aside from these gaps, the app works as intended.
