I'm sorry, but I'm NEVER going to update this app. They fooled me once, promising a simple 'bug fix' when they actually restricting the ability to copy and paste. However, I installed a bootleg version just to regain the abilities they removed (and which I pay a monthly fee for, by the way!). That's why I no longer upgrade any of my apps. Instead of updating features, they're more likely to restrict or limit your options in order to force you to pay more for the same thing.
