I have to be so close to get them to actually connect and what's the point of that?!
Subscription Frustration
The push for premium subscriptions is a major pain point, with users feeling that essential features are locked behind a paywall. This practice is perceived as exploitative, especially when basic functionalities are expected to be included.
Do not install this app. They have taken the basic functionality of ringing your item and that is now a premium feature.
