2026-09-11WARNING!!!!! FRAUD!!!!!
WARNING!!!!! FRAUD!!!!!They’ve tried to charge me 29.99€ four times even though I cancelled the same day I started the free 7 days period. I suspected this so I actually blocked all future payments via my bank the first day. Now my bank have blocked a total of 4 attempts. If you read the reviews in App Store everyone seems to have the same issue. I think the average value of the reviews is fake. Probably have they used bots to boost the average score. I’m just happy I could block them directly from me bank.

The tests are legit, games are challenging, but I guess the amount of ads is valid when you think about how much the app lets you do for free.

I started a “free” trial and the first task I went to complete was asking for money in order to complete it. Total scam.
