User reviews

Useful but slow

Overall it’s a handy app but it’s frustratingly slow to load. I don’t need to see the Clams’ history splash screens every time I open the app. I would appreciate an option to skip the opening sequence. It never changes, so no need to see it more than once.

Terrible

Old app worked well. This one won’t open most of the time. I used the old app frequently. This is unusable.

Cannot open it

Crashes on opening every time - argh!!
