### 4/5 — Cần cải thiện

*2022-11-01, version 2.0*

Ứng dụng này tốt nhưng bạn cần xóa chức năng (thực ra là một lỗi) là thông báo “Bạn có cho phép dán từ nguồn….”.  Tất nhiên, tôi luôn cho phép điều đó.  Mỗi khi tôi muốn dán một thứ gì đó, ứng dụng sẽ hỏi tôi câu hỏi khó chịu này.  Tất cả các ứng dụng khác như Reddit, Google Keep, Chrome, Safari, Facebook và Instagram không yêu cầu điều này
