### 1/5 — Disappointing App

*2023-12-17, version 4*

I’m sorry to tell you that unfortunately, this app doesn’t have enough unique names. Especially for the ones that are new. There should’ve been more names than this. Some of my family members names are either not on there or haven’t got enough meaning to it. Sorry guys, but it’s disappointing me
