Loyal users,

I'm basically declaring this product at its end of life.  As such, I don't want to leave anyone out in the cold, but I don't intend to do anything other than stability updates anymore, and they won't be very often.

**Therefore, I've made the entire app and all its functionality free for use, and there are no more paywalls.**

Thank you for all your support and I hope this app still manages to be of use to you as it still is for me.

### 3.3.9 — 2022-07-11

### 3.3.8 — 2022-07-08

### 3.3.7 — 2021-03-05

- Fixed a small bug that was causing content to be drawn behind the camera notch in landscape mode on iPhone X series, iPhone 12 series.
