I have paid for the license. The app was working without ads for a while. Then suddenly I'm now getting ads again and the app asks me to pay the full amount for a second time! Same device as before, and haven't even uninstalled the app in between.

Marko Kemppainen, 2024-10-20

Its very disappointing to reveive a notification today that I need to buy a new licence. Sorry, but my purchase on 20th December, 2021 was for a FULL LICENCE. Therefore, why are you trying to make me, and god knows how many other licence holders, to pay again? I hope you send a follow up message rectifying the situation, or face the consequences of trying to defraud legitimate licence holders.
