User reviews

I have reported this as "feels suspicious," so I was using this app until one day, I was demanded upfront payment. "I am aPeople with disabilitiesUnable to go out and make a living like others. Your subscription is not only supportive for me, but also allows me toHope to continue living. I don't expect too much, I just hope to have a bite to eat,Every subscription is crucial to me. Thank you for being willing to lend a helping hand,May God bless you." And I also got an e-mail from "Bizbrz". "Dear User: Thank you for using our extension. As a developer, I would like to share some sincere words with you. I am a person with disabilities, unable to make a living like others. This extension is a product I developed at home to create value. Your positive review means more than just support to me; it is hope that keeps me going. Every positive review is crucial to me. Thank you for reaching out to help, and God bless you." Yeah whatever, their Twitter profile has stuff relating to Bitcoin and such, but I think any reasonable "person with a disability struggling with fiances" would consider that other people are "people with disabilities struggling with fiances" and only offer it for free with optional donation. It also says the app can read data off your device... Uninstalled.
