  • Create waytag screen is blank for me!

    When I tap to create the screen is blank and there’s no where to type
  • Way tags #1

    way to go with the best & easiest way to label every thing
  • Love these tags

    I absolutely love these tags! I love to garden but trying to remember what where and when and also when to harvest is very difficult. I attach them to garden picks and put all info on the tags. I also love to use them on my clothes to tell me what that piece of clothing is and what to wear it with. With the newest update I just click read and all info is read to me without voiceover on.
    I love using them all over my house inside and out.
