Ratings and reviews

I paid for this app and it worked fine for about a year. But now I get no photos. Im using an android device that meets the app requirements. I have unistalled and reinstalled the app with no improvement. I have emailed the webmaster with no response. When I pay for an app, I expect it to work or to get a refund. So far I have neither.

Informative and dependable to rely on in the field.

Illustrations are thorough and consise.
