Agreed on the reviewer notes — it's not something they can exercise, and an unverifiable claim invites questions. One flag on the in-app release note, then I'll drop it: that line is a promise to nine real users, and it's the one path we haven't watched succeed. If you'd rather not run the test, I'd soften it to something that holds either way — "Previous tip-jar supporters: thank you. Check the Scholar screen." Your call; it's one string. Here are the fields. Promotional Text (170 max): Learn the Hebrew alphabet & vocabulary — flashcards, quizzes, reference guides, and a live calendar with Shabbat times.
