I like the app but why would I upgrade to premium without knowing how much it will cost!? When selecting "Purchase" it asks me to "Agree" to a contract, with no right to withdrawal, without giving and info of said contact. This is unacceptable!

Just what the doctor ordered since Google Wallet for WearOS is so threadbare at the moment. Simple, clean and functional, all great traits for an app which I want to get out of my way ASAP while checking out. Thank you so much to the developer!
