*2023-07-16*

As a restaurant manager who encourages my employees to use the iPad to complete daily tasks such as temperature readings and such, this app has made that much easier. No longer does my team need to unlock the phone and manually check off items. They have everything right there at the glance. 

Very cool should be a stock feature. Come on apple!
