### 1/5 — Unbrauchbar

*2022-11-05, version 2.0*

Im Layout Heft, werden die Seitennummern wild durcheinander gewürfelt. Im Layout Liste, ist dem Programm das Wort Adresse scheinbar zu lang. In der Adresszeile steht Adres und in einer weiteren Zeile steht „se“ ganz alleine. Außerdem ist der Heftrand viel zu schmal 16mm.

### 1/5 — Does not Work

### 5/5 — Megapraktisch

*2014-09-24, version 1.2*

Diese App hat mir schon sehr geholfen. Wer kennt das nicht :Handy hat keinen Strom mehr und man kennt keine einzige Telefonnummer auswendig...

### 5/5 — Praktisch

*2014-08-30, version 1.1*

Immer alle Telefonnummern dabei - auch wenn der Akku leer ist - praktisch!
