So many limitations
There are so many limitations that they don't advertise.
So you expect to get access to the gurus when you buy the premium subscription? Yes, you get access to less than 3% of the gurus on their platform. You need plus subscription to access the rest.
You might be expecting to be able to use the custom filters? Guess what, you can use them very little before that function is being blocked and you have to pay for the plus subscription.
Premium feels more like a trial mode, that you can play around with a little before you buy the plus subscription.
The plus subscription has a quite substantial price tag. If you want the plus subscription for the whole world, it's USD 3000. This means you have to at least increase your performance 3000 USD per year with this service for it to be worthwhile. Realistically speaking most people will not be able to do this with less than 100.000 USD invested.
So this is why you might end up with a premium (trial) subscription and limited regions, only to be frustrated about the limitations.
Also be aware that the All-in-One screener has a lot of fields, but you can quickly end up filtering out companies simply because they don't have the data. As an example they seem mostly to be able to filter on insider trading in the US, not so much the rest of the world, even though these data are freely available on other platforms.

Update 29th May 2021
I have to revise my review a bit, so I up the stars a notch to three stars. They do deliver a lot of valuable content for the Premium subscribers, but the above critique is still relevant.
