### 5/5 — Handy - Works

*2025-01-09*

Works fine for conversion to plain text, and is a handy option for easy plain text composition.  Comes with ads, but $4 removes them forever. Great deal.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the great review!
I'm so glad you like the app!

### 2/5 — PSA: It has ads and a timer before you can access the app

*2023-12-04*

Ads and lock-out timer should be in the description so customers can make an informed choice before downloading.

If the timer was removed and the ads were a bar across the top then it would be a good app.

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for your feedback. I would like to consider it for future development of the app.
