Parsed data section is missing

I really love this app and use it often to view parsed data but now that section is missing. App is useless to me now and I have to find a different one.

Response from developer

Hi, thanks for the feedback and sorry that the parsed data view disappeared in 3.1.0. This has been fixed in version 3.2.0. Please update the app and give it another try. If you still cannot find the section or run into any issues, please contact us directly so we can help. We'd really appreciate it if you could reconsider your rating once you've had a chance to test the update.

Upgrade is a downgrade

This latest release has removed the extremely useful GS1 parse translation where AI ‘s used to be pulled out into English now they are gone with only the result string , size and EC level. Seems like only for GS1 digital link structure.

Please add back the GS1 parse detail.

Thanks
