I like jumping on the bandwagon as much as the next guy, but do you have any evidence of these accusations?
- Only the evidence I put in my comments, all of the recent 5 star reviews have no constructive information in them other than a few random words.
  
  They look really suspicious and the FTC would be able to verify their authenticity.
- I put a link below but here is another to a screenshot I took. https://imgur.com/a/QDDcxk8
- If you go on the play store and look at the 5 star reviews vs. 1 star reviews, is does look a little suspect.
  
  All the 1 star reviews are almost at the character limit, describing in detail why they gave it 1 star.
  
  At least half the 5 star reviews are one sentence reviews like "interesting content", "Works great! Thanks!!", "Its good", "I love it!", and "veri gud ep" (sic).
