What's New

Localscope is no more a free + premium subscription app. Since there has been a considerable amount of issues with the premium subscription and its propagation across users' devices, we have decided to revert to the paid app model.

These issues have caused substantial inconvenience to some of our users. Since we have no way of identifying and reaching out to each of these users, every existing user of Localscope will be permanently upgraded to the full premium version of Localscope automatically when they upgrade to v3.4.

If you face any issues with the upgrade, please get in touch with us via the in-app support.

To know more about our decision, check out our blog - cynapse.com/blog
