  22. [R64] BOSS Revolution 1/5 · US Money grab harassment: The app is on every step defaulting to monthly subscriptions. You are automatically opted in. I have had to cancel subscriptions I was tricked into multiple times. then when you go to cancel they also play tricks to obfuscate the cancellation process. @apple support can do a better review of this behavior.

I contacted customer support to claim that I have been charged for something I never did or enrolled for.. they are keeping saying that I did enroll.. which is ridiculous.
