### 1/5 — 能不能认真做一个好软件？

*2023-01-03*

刚下载的时候用的感觉还可以，就留下来了
但这个app真让人失望，必须看广告才能起名我可以理解，但是看了几次之后再用看广告领金币就不行了，也不能充值，也看不了广告，试过好多次，都不行
还有就是，虽然起名不是特别简单的事情，但好歹认真一点OK？一堆烂名字，我自己不动脑起的名字都比你们程序花金币起的名字好！

**Developer response:** 你好，感谢您的反馈和建议。前后我们会测试并修复无法获得金币的bug. 关于名字是 随机的姓氏 和 随机的名字 组合而来😢  确实会出现不好听的概率大一些。 下次更新我们也会增加名字的数据库来改善这些问题
