### 5/5 — Good 😌

*2020-10-30*

It’s a very good app. It’s fun and cute hehe

### 5/5 — Change the language

*2020-07-07, version 1.5*

This app is great. I like how it has a lot of colors and not just 5e common ones.
However, I wish I could switch between English and Japanese without changing the language setting of the device.

### 5/5 — Works wonderfully on iPhone X

*2018-05-28, version 1.5*

Surprised this app got an update! I’d love to be able to go back to Japanese mode instead of English (without changing my device’s language, of course.)
