Outdated

This app is now outdated. This was written to the 2004 guidelines and bili standards were updated in 2022. There are other tools that are based off of 2022 guidelines. Don’t buy this one!

Not up to date guidelines

It’s a great app and easy to use but needs to be updated to the 2022 guidelines.

Used to be a 5star app

The app still uses the old 2004 AAP guidelines and has not been updated to the 2022 guidelines. It appears to be effectively abandoned by the owner.

There are other alternatives on the App Store.

Is the app still functional? Yes… but it is no longer pertinent

Out of date

This was a great tool, but unfortunately now completely out of date. Would be great if updated but appears the creator hasn’t changed it in 9 years
