### 3/5 — Really good idea but too many bugs

*2021-05-14, version 2.0*

I’m excited for the new update, but some features like the “Contact us” feature doesn’t work, the app has been glitching and crashing often. The content doesn’t change if you change your education level, and some subjects like Information Technology don’t have past papers listed - (it’s possible to get them from the funworks website but it would be nice to have them on the app with the other subjects’ papers). The bugs are understandable, because it’s a major app update. I’ll still be looking forward to using this app, once you get those issues fixed.

### 3/5 — Great app... but

*2017-10-17, version 1.0*

This app is a lifesaver, thank you!! But it didn't quite get the 5 stars as there is a shortage of IEB Afr past papers and memos... I really "Don't want to fail" Afr so pleaseeee try source some. 

Thank you :D
