Avengers: Endgame star Jeremy Renner launched an app several years ago that was all about fans of the actor forming an online community, though that has come to an abrupt end after Trolls managed to take it over. The app became inundated with trolls who were impersonating not only Renner but other fans on the app and harassing users and posting abusive comments. It all came to a head yesterday when Renner posted a message saying the app would shut down and refunds for stars would be given out for those purchased in the last 90 days, bringing the app officially to a close.

As you might imagine there are a host of reactions to the news online, with some sad it's gone while others just learning it even existed in the first place.

You can read Renner's full sign off message below.

"Goodbye...The app has jumped the shark. Literally. Due to clever individuals that were able to manipulate ways to impersonate me and others within the app I have asked ESCAPEX, the company that runs the app to shut it down immediately and refund anyone who has purchased any stars over the last 90 days. What was supposed to be a place for fans to connect with each other has turned into a place that is everything I detest and can't or won't condone. My sincere apologies for this to have not turned out the way it was intended. To all the super-fans who have supported me with your words of encouragement, amazing art, stories and time shared ion the app, a genuine THANK YOU and I hope to see you on Instagram, Twitter, youtube and facebook. JR"
