…ubscription that takes payment information even for the “free” trail. I don’t recommend this app as they don’t do what the app described unless you pay the.
…ing up for a free one since the app wasn’t helpful for what I needed. Customer service didn’t let me cancel it and I was charged and have been trying to get a refund for the past month now, only to be left on seen and receive 0 assistance.
…pp until you have a subscription. And the 7 days free IS NOT A TRIAL. You will be charged immediately, and the customer support is literally nonexistent.
