### 1/5 — Was helpful… now won’t launch

*2022-06-02, version 1.0.1*

Kinda what I said. Think it needs an update to run with current iOS versions.

### 1/5 — To slow and has bugs

*2022-04-24*

Could be so awesome and a good tool, worked out you can type the heading and ADF in but then lost the mob RB etc at the bottom of the screen. 
Will review again or edit if fixed in the next week. I need something like this for my exam. But it's just unusable.
