Past its prime

Bought and used the app during the age of Intel Macs. Won’t run on a desktop now.
“iOS 3.1.2 or higher” !?Documentation is rubbish. No longer need a relational DB. Looking elsewhere.

2031 is the highest date you can enter!

BEWARE! I discovered this bug luckily before 2031 so I have a while to find a replacement. The Dev says he has no interest in fixing it.

20 Years!

I may have been using this app for nearly 20 years and it is STILL my favorite and most used app ever! Seriously!

It has been VERY stable through multiple iPhone upgrades and I think I may have even started way back with a Palm Pilot!!!!

I definitely think some modifications are in order, but even if nothing changes, at this point, this app has added years of practical, efficient data management AND a ton of fun!
