User reviews

Simples

Simple, to the point and very useful. Saves searching for what is needed. Would be better if more guidelines were included such as component selection

Great app

App is very user friendly, clear and easy to navigate. Guidelines and information are all relevant and up to date with current publications. The main icon design could be a little better designed (quite sinister looking!). Great app overall and will use regularly on the future.
