Great app ruined

Hopeless update has ruined this app.

Typical internet ensh1tification.

New app

Can no longer use this without an account, and it collects an enormous amount of your data. No longer a useful app.

It used to be great…then the update ruined it

Horrible, ugly, unreadable background, search doesn’t work, not worth paying for any more.

Shockingly bad update

This app is now a perfect example of something that was once user friendly and fit for purpose until the recent early 2026 update. It’s been turned into something that is simply appalling. So disappointing
