Ratings and reviews

벌써 2번째 그들에게 문제를 고쳐줄것을 요청했지만 아무런 답이없다 그렇다고 refund 해주는 것도 아니다. 돈주고 구입한걸 정말 후해한다.

백업 및 복원이 복잡해요 (백업 한 후에, 복원 실행이 안됨). 잘 되다가, 크래쉬 되는 경우도 있습니다. 결국 백업하고 지우고 다시 인스톨 했는데, 이전에 적어두고 저장한 것들이 다 사라졌음.

It is great to have many translation including newer translation. Search was not working after some use, but reinstall fixed it.
