### 5/5 — Export names to other device

*2025-01-12*

This app is great. I just hope they make an export feature to make moving names to a different device possible.

### 4/5 — Seems a Worthwhile App

*2024-08-24*

I like this app but:  Under “People” when you search a name it will find the name, but when you try and see the information for that individual it resets, basically, back to the search window again; wish this small bug was fixed- btw, I did upgrade and paid the $3.99, which, if app continues to work, I think is a wise $3.99 spent.

### 1/5 — Unable to open

*2021-05-13*

Was working great so I upgraded, then shortly it stopped working and I am unable to open the app. I deleted and reloaded the app, but it still won’t open. I’m hopeful they will fix the glitch. I really like this app and would like to continue using it!

**Developer response:** Hi Doubletuba, I fixed this crash in 1.1, I apologize for the inconvenience
