Before this app was SO GOOD, But lately it has Too Many Ads to the point it rendered this apps useless. Uninstalling
★★★★ Julou Dumaran 6/6/2026
the ads will automatically go on the website itself then if u go back to the main app the 10seconds of the timer due to the ads will be stuck and it will not reduce a single second even tho the background song is still playing
★★★★ Scott 6/4/2026 v1.4.4
there were far too many ads to distinguish an ad from legitimate installation buttons and once you install you have to create an account.
