Interesting intro and onboarding process. I liked the way it started.

Friendly little owl

Hi this app is very easy to setup and use with a good explanation of its benefit. Wonder if it could be used for child controls too.

Amazing app!

Love that I can throw my own pdfs in and it remembers the exact page I left off on. been using it for textbook chapters between lectures.
