Must make purchases, in order to take proper pictures of the moon. If taken without the purchase, then there will be lines streaming off the moon, and it blurry.

I tried your free 3-day trial, and I'm sorry your app didn't fit what I was trying to accomplish. Anyhow, so before the 3 days, I wanted to cancel! But when I went into the app, I couldn't find any settings to cancel before the 3 days were up! I didn't want my card charged! NOW YOUR APP IS TRYING TO CHARGE MY CARD ON A DAILY BASIS BECAUSE I COULDN'T FIND THE OPTION TO CANCEL!! IDK I feel like y'all are scamming ppl, u made that app complicated on purpose to were it's difficult to cancel!!

Hello there, the payment in Nightcam make through the Google Play, because of this reason you can easily cancel or refund your purchases using Google Play Store. So, there is nothing related to scam
