First time I opened it, AdChoices took over my entire screen. Tried to get rid of it and instead ended up at a real estate website. Got app. to work but STILL had ad at bottom of screen. Doesn't recognize my camera and I really don't need an ad generator on my phone. My next step is to uninstall this advertising generator.
