A friend of mine won the top of the line omen model in a gaming tournament. We went through three of them before we just accepted the thing doesn’t fucking work for shit and demoted it to a Super Gengear 64 Station boy advance and stuffed it under the TV.
That just goes with a territory of having an iPhone. When you bought that device you signed on to a culture of consumption that is enforced by the developer of that device.
The developer can’t force Apple to let the developer give it to you for free. Apple doesn’t tolerate free very well and anything that is free on Apple is likely either a privacy nightmare or is paid for by some subscription you have with Apple.
This isn’t a problem with the app It’s a problem with the Apple.
