Cons
Con Backgrounds are girly and corny
You can’t add your own backgrounds, not in the start page neither in the individual entries, so you only have the ones provided and after a while they become boring. They don’t say this in the App Store, so it’s possible to buy it thinking you’ll be able to have personalized backgrounds but no.
Con No folders inside other folders
Although there is a little option to organize the folders in a category index you can’t make folders inside other folders so you waste time looking despite how organized your stuff is.
Con Pricetag
Membership and cross-platform premium costs are quite high for those who might be on a tight budget. Buying premium on all devices without membership could be costly.
