Tut überhaupt nichts...

I gave this app 2 stars. A few months ago I would have given it 5 stars. It used to work flawlessly especially when using the audio challenge/solution of the program. I believe however that most companies, especially Google have caught on to this program and how it works, therefor the option to solve the captcha's via Buster, is not even available. The Captcha's no longer recognize Buster. So because of that the program is pretty much unusable now. Google want's every penny they can get; the company whose slogan at one time was "Do no evil" now seems ONLY to do evil. The worst part? They are proud of this. It's disgusting. So good luck, it would be great if you could get the app working again, but I am sure TPTB will do everything they can to make sure you don't. It was great while it lasted.
