User reviews

Perfect

This app is outstanding. It is truly powerful with a comprehensive set of wildcards and other functions. The bracket function to use just one of these letters (abc) is just what I was after. It has a clean minimalist interface and if you press help it flips to an extensive set of instructions and syntax. Get this one, it can be as simple or advanced as you need.
