App is great, but
I love this app and I think it’s a great value but the placement of the advertisement does not work on my iPhone 11 Pro. The X is placed at the very edge of the top right corner, and I can only see half of the X to close out the ad. This is really annoying. If this is fixed, I can change my rating.

If you just remove the music it will be perfect
