Love it

Love love love this app! Have for a very long time now… however recently it’s started to glitch pretty regularly! & it seems as if it’s clipping more than it used to as well… hopefully it gets back to it’s normal greatness VERY soon!!

Really good for the most part

Really useful tool I’m super glad it’s free. The only thing is that the YouTube function thingy doesn’t work all the time which gets kind of annoying other than that very pleased with this app.
