### 3/5 — Needs some TLC

*2023-05-13, version 2.2*

It’s pretty good for what it is and does exactly what I needed it for. It does occasionally crash and the settings buttons only works half the time. Would love to see some bug fixes for it.

The Magic Hat's memory has gotten a lot better since last time! The Magic hat remembers what you've put in it, and different hats can be saved for later, so you can quickly use the hats you use most often! (use of preset lists require in app purchase)
