No one time purchase to unlock all features. I don't really care for reason why it's like it either. Do you? I'll just find a different app.

★☆☆☆☆ Frank Singano · Feb 8, 2026

Don't Subscribe Premium Service to This App I Subscribed to the Service but Developer of This App hasn't acknowledged My purchase I repeat DON'T SUBSCRIBE PREMIUM SERVICE you will Cry

★☆☆☆☆ Ant Boogie · Mar 14, 2026

Paid for the premium subscription and the pro features unlock and then lock again. But when they are unlocked, none of the pro features actually work. The chat bubble stays transparent, can't adjust the size. Got scammed. Do not buy
