Ratings and reviews

3-MAR-23 Update: Thank you for fixing the push messages. Those are super important! App is easy to use and is great again. - - - Original: Was great until sometime last week February 23 or 24th when the push messages no longer worked (using a Pixel 6 Android 13). I have uninstalled the app, restarted my phone, and reinstalled. The push messages are all selected on the settings but are not getting pushed to my phone.

So far I've enjoyed this app, although I don't have anything else to compare it to. It's pretty easy to navigate. There was an update in late February 2023 that broke push notifications for Android (iPhones still worked) however the latest update 5.3.1 corrected the issue as of this morning. I reached out to their support team yesterday and they provided a quick response about the upcoming fix. Great support!

The last update that changed the interface is a complete joke. It is extremely hard to use and I can't even understand how and why things work the way the decided to change them. Usually when there is a big update like this a lot of testing in terms of usability should have been done. But clearly that wasn't the case. And to make things worse an even more recent update they changed the typical download button to another sign for you to download images. Terrible UX it's unfortunate
