Ratings and reviews

Hopefully they fix the app so I can change my rating, but I haven't been able to use the app for many months now. I enter my credentials, and then a Captcha window appears with the spinning circle saying "validating", and it returns to the login screen without ever proceeding. Since mostly what I subscribed for was to keep my gallery backed up, I'm not getting what I paid for and will have to look for another solution if it isn't fixed soon. (I am able to log in on my computer though).

This application spent the entire time that it was on my device erroring, crashing, and being completely unuseable. The crashing became so frequent that I could not do a single thing on my device without a crash message showing every single freaking second. This is a useless application that will only frustrate you, while not backing up your device.

Signed up for the free 10 gig storage, then suddenly the terms changed that the free was only a one month trial. Now, I can't find a way to delete my files and my account. Going to make a change, fine. Do it going forward. Honor you past commitments the way people entered them. Yes, I am sure there were weasel words in the terms, but only weasels use weasel words!
