★★★★★ Richard Kimes · May 22, 2026

Love this app. Has everything I wanted and much more. Extremely accurate.

★☆☆☆☆ John Pierce · May 23, 2026

Updated the app, and now it can't be used unless you allow it to send you notifications. Used to be an ok app, but I'm not installing something that's going to force me to immediately go dig through setting to disallow notifications ... really, really stupid that you can't even use the app once without letting it bug you with notifications uninstalling now

★☆☆☆☆ The Camels Butt · Jul 29, 2026

Could not try unless I allowed my billing details to be used. Sorry nope not happening. Trial should not require any info.

★☆☆☆☆ Maxim Kukushkin · Apr 19, 2026

Asks tons of questions before opening and then requires subscription for the simplest task that any free app would do. Uninstalled immediately
