Does it add more storage to iCloud?

No, not in any way. It is a completely different service that does not work with iCloud.


Is it legitimate?

That is a vague question, although the ratings are good with some mixed reviews in the App Store. The main factor would be if it makes more sense for you to pay for that service as opposed to iCloud with the built in integration. In my opinion it would not make sense to pay for 2 services and some apps are specifically designed to store content in iCloud.

You can certainly go to an attorney, but you can also dispute the charge with your bank where it won't cost you any attorney fees. Simply getting a new card number does not work for a subscription charge because your PNO (Mastercard, VISA, etc) uses an Automatic Billing Updater to transfer any subscriptions to a new card number. You need to officially designate those charges as being fraudulent with your bank before the PNO will remove the subscription.
