Silver Sun Astrology writes a 1-star review: "You have to log in to desktop to use the images. Update: the above issue seems to have been resolved. My latest issues include not being able to use the app at all (despite paying money for it, it was buggy and not granting me access). After wasting a lot of time with customer support, they convinced me not to cancel... By offering me a free trial for three months. I agreed... Unfortunately, instead of providinga free trial, they decided to be sneaky and instead bill me twice a month."
YOU BURNED ME BECAUSE I WAS A WITCH, RIGHT? RIGHT? IT'S NOT ME YOU HATE, YOU WEREN'T THINKING OF ME, JUST THE SHADOW USING MY EYES
