### 1/5 — Why!

*2021-05-06*

What have you done! 
The app updates are AWFUL! counterintuitive, clunky, messy, full of difficult to navigate cul-de-sac 
Please please please change, update or simply revert back! Previous version was simplistic, but at least it worked.

### 4/5 — The new app is great

*2021-03-24*

A couple glitches in the settings pane but great overall.
