### 1/5 — App not updated

*2025-02-15*

Don’t buy. App not updated in years. Poor quality. Basically the same as web version. Extremely difficult to use on iPhone. Can’t copy paste easily at all. The most basic of things. Unable to connect with google drive unless you sign in on safari first. Do not buy this. No not waste your money. I never write reviews. Please don’t buy this.
