more Stupid app tries to sync my phone’s data with iCloud — without my permission and without any way to cancel it — so the app fails at this point with no alternatives. This problem has existed at least since November 2025 when the first person wrote about it, but the developer apparently doesn’t care to fix it because it’s April 2026 at the time I’m writing this review.
Developer Response I have no support request from you. Had you contacted me, I would have told you to reboot the device and try, which fixes the issue. This is not an app issue.
