It's also getting very intrusive with popups, and continually asking to 
upgrade from the free version, etc., with no way to turn that off afaik; 
at least there's no setting to turn off notifications on the mobile 
version. (haven't checked with the dektop version tho) but with my phone 
I can stop it from sending notifications with system settings for apps.
