How do I put people

Overpriced, Monopolized Junk

Aside from the UI looking like an early 2000’s website built with only HTML, it’s impossible to use & crashes constantly.

I genuinely didn’t believe this was Pyware’s official mobile app when I loaded it up for the first time, and I’m not sure how Pyware has gotten away with scamming people into paying $200 a year to use this app.

I guess I shouldn’t have expected much from a mobile port of complex drill writing software, but I certainly expected much more than this - I’ll just stick to writing on my computer with OpenMarch.
