Thanks for the feedback. Love this idea and added it to my backlog.

Five Stars

Great App. Excellent Support

Great simple app but just one complaint

I figured when you hold down on a box on your list you would be able to move it within the list to reorder it, but it just moved the text over to another box on your list. That’s a cool feature but i think adding one to reorder your list one by one would be cool. Otherwise, great app 👍

"End session" message, very inconvenient

The app is very interesting. Unfortunately, when you enable the "randomize session" feature, the message "end session" appears in the center of the screen once the items in the list have been exhausted. Personally, I find this message very annoying. It would be much more convenient for me if it didn't appear at all.
