Worthless unless connected to WiFiThere are some great talks in this app. Not worth the price of admission when you need constant WiFi to access downloaded content.

Such a scamFirstly i got into free trial and app said will notify you. Guess what i forgot and charged 270 and did not get any notification. When i go to app and select contact support, button does not work. Thanks for scamming me. I hate this!!! Refund asap!!

Not that greatThis app can ruin your mental health

The most important thing you'll ever learnSeriously, do it. It's free if you can't afford it, but please consider supporting them. You will thank your future self for learning this skill.
