### 1/5 — Das reicht einfach nicht.

*2019-06-23*

Das Programm macht nichts anderes als eine Signalflagge in einen Buchstaben oder vice versa zu wandeln. Es kennt weder die Bedeutung noch den Zusammenhang zwischen mehreren Signalflaggen als Gruppe. Da hätte mir auch ein Bild der Signalflaggen geholfen. Als kostenlose App hätte ich nichts geschrieben aber das ich für so wenig auch noch bezahlen muss (kein Prüf vor Kauf) ist schon bemerkenswert.

**Developer response:** Hallo Nautiker1962, ich glaube, du hast dir die App einfach noch nicht richtig angeschaut. Bei jeder Flagge sind auch die Bedeutungen von Flaggenkombinationen aufgeführt.
