Is it a rule?Is it a rule that this app MUST be broken in at least 1 way? They’ll fix all the bugs,then miraculously create a new one. It has to be a joke.
Sold outToo many annoying ads. I’m done. Should call it Jive.
hypocrisyLove the community, hate that they take blood money to promote smoking while claiming to run a medical charity. They should fix their business instead of sacrificing their core values.
