### 4/5 — 感想

*2026-07-04, version 1.5.1*

結構キーボードとかあって使いやすくて便利なんですけど、1回ホーム画面に戻り開き直すとたまに音が聞こえなくなってしまうところと書き込みを押すと詰んで開き直す必要があるのを直して欲しいです
1個前に戻る機能欲しいです

### 1/5 — It deleted my project and I did save it please read this

*2026-05-22, version 1.5.1*

I’m trying to be nice about this though please don’t take this seriously I mean I want you to, but not like Sumi. I was going to say that your app is a little bit unfinished. The reason is I tried saving a project but when I saved it and I loaded it back. I only have a round like 2% of my storage shaved from it and it was because my storage was mostly full. He was what you can do to fix this. You can make a message when you try to save it and make it soon when you save this project, it will not be fully saved because of your Storage amount. This will help me a ton. Please make this wish come true and I wish you good luck if you do fix this and thank you for reading this right now. If you are, please fix the game thank you.
