Стоит мне открыть приложение и выбрать какой нибудь строй 
То через секунд 5 приложение вылетает

### 2/5 — Vadim

*2020-12-11*

Приложение не очень. Работает только настройка гитары да и та 
коряво, то слышит струну то нет , да и разброс большой. Как говориться , на халяву и уксус должен быть сладкий. Не смотря на то что сразу оплатил чтобы работало без рекламы, всё равно постоянно всплывает окно с переложением оплатить ещё раз..
