RAPE!!!I feel like i just got rapped paid while it was working and now it don’t

Worst appI opted for a 3 day free trial and upon the deduction of money there is no cancellation option, the app got purchased for an entire year. Moreover the app doesn’t work at all. It’s a scam hoax plus the support is also not working. So disappointed and feeling harassed.
