### 4/5 — 希望增加支持中文

*2025-06-21*

I really love this app! If it could support Simplified Chinese, it would greatly enhance the user experience for Chinese users. I'd also actively recommend it to friends and communities, helping the app tap into the huge potential of the Chinese market.

**Developer response:** Hey, thank you for such nice words, it really means a lot :) And also thank you for your suggestion, I will definitely try to make it happen.

Do you think I could I ask you to send me an email to support@tonymasek.com so I can let you know when it’ll be available?

Thank you!
