The app is “not available in my area or region” and their website is defunct. Any idea what happened or if there is something very similar. I’m at a loss for my son. This app is exactly what I imagined he needed and now it’s nowhere to be found. The social media page hasn’t been updated since 2018. Any help or information would be much appreciated.
