### 4/5 — Nice. A few bugs

*2025-09-17*

I really love this app. I’m not sure if it’s just me , but my cards technically restart about every 30 days. I’ll be about halfway through my revisions and I’ll have to start all over again. The play audio button doesn’t seem to work anymore either.

**Developer response:** Salam,

We have done alot of changes to the app, including updating all the libraries (for performance) and also the storage location (Cost + performance) and it wasn't the easiest migration and created some bugs/issues. Issues should be resolved in the latest release that was release Nov 2nd, please try updating the app and share feedback if you still see issues.
