### 1/5 — Difficult interface and No ability to contact

*2026-03-09, version 2.1.3*

Cannot contact developer from the app or from their link in this App Store description
Also, they need to develop a dark mode interface to make everything easier to see  The app icon/lettering yellow on white background or light gray on white etc is difficult to see
It would be helpful also if they had a zoom feature with the software to make the text larger and easier to read.  It's not a bad app, but the interface and communication links need correcting
