Great!

One of those apps you might use seldom, but super grateful to have it!

Add a donation button! I think I owe you a coffee or two!

Thanks!

Free. Simple. No data collected. Not perfect but well worth five stars in my book.

Barely works

Barely works, picks up one or two symbols a time only instead of all of the ones on the label and then it doesn’t do anything else? My brain does the exact thing this app does, why can’t I save labels for my garments? Or put them in categories so I can go “oh I have these garments to wash, I should run this cycle” Why can’t I organise stuff to actually make my life easier instead of doing what google or my own brain cells do.

Crazy pointless.
