### 4/5 — 並べ替えが…

*2025-06-08, version 2.8.3*

アニメの記録を取りたいと思っていた時にこのアプリに出会いました。とても使いやすい。理想のアプリです。
できれば、コレクションの中にある“要素”を自由に並べ替えができるようにしていただいたらありがたいです。

### 1/5 — だめ

*2025-03-13, version 2.7.1*

検索しても出てこない本が多すぎる。ほとんど出てこない。あと、バーコードをスキャンしてできるようにしてほしい。
　　　それと、広告が多すぎる。画面を戻したり記録するたびに出てくる。

### 4/5 — 理想のアプリに出会えました！

*2023-08-25, version 2.2.10*

Twitterやインスタの気になる投稿を一箇所に集めたくてアプリを色々と探していました。
notionなども検討したのですがズボラな自分には操作が難しく感じ
もっといいアプリはないかなと思っていたので
シンプルな操作性のアプリを作っていただいた製作者さまに感謝です…！
一つだけリクエストしたいのですが
もし可能でしたらコレクションの要素の並び方？を縦スクロール以外に横並び(リンクカードの表示を小さくして何列か)みたいに切り替えできたらとても嬉しいです…。

製作応援しております。
