### 3/5 — Shuffle mode not working.

*2025-10-05*

The purpose of the cards is that one needs to pick them up at random. The shuffle mode button in the app does not work. 
Hope that they will update. It should be an easy one to do. 
Then I will update my rating to 5 stars…

### 2/5 — Не понятно

*2025-07-17*

Хорошо, что есть на русском, но жаль, что нет функции случайного выбора карточки.

**Developer response:** Добрый день, благодарим за отзыв. В приложении есть функция Shuffle, которая перемешивает карточки в случайном порядке, попробуйте воспользоваться ею. Спасибо.

### 1/5 — ALEXEY
