### 1/5 — App has been reduced to nothing.

*2025-05-25*

This used to be one of my favorite apps but they slowly started to take features away and just stopped adding new cards altogether. It’s been pretty much shut down for several months now without any update as to when or if it’s gonna be fixed. I’ve got like 50,000 cards in my collection on the app so I’ve put quite a bit of time into everything. I’d just appreciate it if someone could let me know if the app is gonna be back up anytime soon or what is going on.
