### 1/5 — doesn’t load

*2026-03-11*

the app does not load and i was waiting 30 minutes and swiped out of the app multiple times and it never loaded all the way

### 2/5 — Great, but needs some accessibility improvements

*2022-08-23*

Ok, so this is going to be one long review, but I think from what I’m able to do in the app so far it’s great. But I use the three fingers double tap ZOOM function to do stuff because of vision issues. If you do that in the simulator, that makes it think you’re selecting something. Try it and you will see. Zoom in a little bit and then move the screen around with three fingers and it selects something when I just want to read it to see what it says. Another issue is the font could be a little bigger. It’s very very hard for me to use this app, but if you could fix the issues I have stated, I would be using the app A WHOLE LOT!
