Great app , advance interface from an outstanding South African tech sourcing , overall , I think it's amazing till you have to touch the game parts , especially "free data pro " you discover the algorithm , freeze up authomatically at the right response and when you try to reshuffle it to get the right response it picks and active the wrong answer , - I rate the overall app 4/5 - the gaming department 1/5 Thanks ...
