User reviews

I really love the concept of this app, and it’s something I’d genuinely use on a regular basis…

But that bug where you get stuck on the login page still exists :(

I’ve found that I can avoid said issue by deleting the app and redownloading it every time I wanna log in, but like.. that’s a bit much haha

Good good app

Ya this app is good. Does what it sets out to do.
