Life would be simpler if these adds that invade any minute area of my screen or wherever they pop up if it was some rule to put $$ amount required monthly even weekly to enjoy these fun joys technology has decided to grace the public with. If ads are going to be stuffed down our throats put the cost up front so we have some choice in the matter. Sorry if I sound rude but I’m sick of it. Unsubscribing is supposed to be simple. I’m still hooked into a reoccurring Apple fee I was goat rope click baited into. 😳

_The Reviewer_
Rigel Is An “OK” App. I Thought It Wouldn’t Be Like The Rest With The Membership. The Only Difference Is That You Can Create A Film Using A Photo Which Is Unique. It Would’ve Been Better If You Could Watch Ads To Continue Using The App And Creating Films From Your Photos, Or Have A Limit Of “Moves” To Use Each Day. Apps Similar To Rigel Always False-Advertise And Always Charge People More Money. Not Everybody Has The Money, Or Want To Spend Their Hard Earned Money On An App Like This. Apps Like Rigel Are So Money Hungry As Always
