### 1/5 — horrible

*2026-05-31, version 10.0.23*

this app used to be amazing but ever since the update (that no one asked for mind u) it’s become unusable. cant use custom presets anymore , cant even save presets anymore ? the entire app is all jumbled around and confusing when the old layout was perfectly fine and NO ONE asked for a change. awful, now the only people who were really using the app cant use it anymore because yall wanted to be unnecessary and make random updates and now presets don’t even work anymore. hope y’all are happy. whoever suggested this update need to be out of a job✌️
