Cindy Bahl (Cindy) (ID: 0000009be9acf12d) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/06/2022 Surprised how much I like it. They did a beautiful job on all of it. The free version is still amazing. The paid version would be nice but I have too many subscriptions in general. And this service is too new for me to consider doing their lifetime option. But if they continue the way they have been going, this will be an amazing service.
