AI Comments

👍 I'm so glad I found this app! The prices are unbeatable and there is such a wide range of products. I've been using it for months and I haven't had any problems.

👎 This app is a scam! I ordered an iPhone and never received it. When I tried to contact customer service, they never responded. I would not recommend this app to anyone.
