### 1/5 — Can’t change from portrait to landscape

*2023-10-25*

### 4/5 — B+ review

*2023-04-28*

This shouldn’t be called B+ it should be called “Oh My God”…this is sooooo amazing, I can’t get enough of this, it’s sooooo amazing…

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2022-04-08*

Truly an excellent and easy to use app. 
Lots of fun too.   Thank you.

One suggestion though:
When we type using a language that reads from right to left, please have the APP scroll the message in the opposite direction so it comes out OK.
Otherwise it’s a brilliant APP.
