This works great even though it’s OLD!

I’ve been using this for over 10 years and it is extremely impressive how well this works despite not having been updated since 2018. Having said that, I do wish the developer *would* update it.

Bonne application

Je ne comprends pas la note de cette application, ça fait presque 10 ans que je l’utilise, elle est très simple, elle ne se met pas à jour et pourtant elle est toujours aussi efficace. Dommage qu’elle ne soit pas suivie par ses développeurs.

It’s excellent

Probably my favorite utility app. I’ve been using it for years with no issues.
