Decent but dated & buggy app

Great idea, but has been abandoned for some time. Search function no longer seeks to work, but manually scrolling and copying does. Be nice to see an update for this useful little app!

Big software bezel on notched iPhones

Still works fine, update would be nice

Does not work with iOS 13.5 (17F75)

Constantly freezes. Search box does not offer ability to type as iOS keyboard never appears and then the search box moves up and disappears.
Plain doesn’t work.

Used to be the best -- 4 years ago

It was one of the few that had search.

It hasn't been updated in 4 years because the developers don't care about their users.

Its search doesn't even work now.

Uninstalling.

It’s good, but it could be great!

If only the developer didn’t limit himself to using American English expressions.

Two examples which have come to light for me today are when I was trying to use 1/4 and 3/4. In English, we say a quarter, and three quarters, respectively. However, in American, the expressions used are one fourth, and three fourths, respectively.

I cannot locate the appropriate symbols when I search using the English terms. I have to use either the American term, or search a completely different way.

There might be other examples.
