### 1/5 — App text matches the background colour

*2023-01-04, version 1.2.2*

I recently upgraded my phone and all the text in the app is matching the background, so I can’t use the app. The settings page is blank for example! Also I found no other way to report this issue to the developer except through a review. Please fix these issues so I can continue using the app, thanks!

### 1/5 — Wish it was better

*2017-03-18, version 1.2.0*

Really want to support this app but it just doesn't work.
