  Sigh! When will you *ever* learn, Carlos!? 'Andrew' will soon tell you
that each and every paid app can be replaced by a *better* FOSS app,
which obviously has no ads.

  Didn't you pay *any* attention when he found a replacement for the
Fitbit app!? Not that that is a paid one, but you'll (not) get the idea.
