### 2/5 — Stopped Opening

*2020-05-13, version 1.0*

I would have given this 4.5 stars, but recently, the app only opens when I delete it and start over. I’ve  done this four times now. Perhaps you need to fix the bugs.

### 5/5 — App works great

*2019-11-04, version 1.0*

I don’t know what the other review was complaining about, this app opens without any issues and works great.

Tested November 2019

### 1/5 — this doesn’t open

*2018-09-14, version 1.0*

this doesn’t open.
