The app had to be transferred to a new seller account in the App Store. As a result, I had to bring the app up-to-date internally with regards to the aforementioned change. This change does not affect users in any way. More information will be included in the next app update. Also: ● Fixed an issue where some ad banners would not appear in the correct screen in the free version.
