If you find a palindrome you like, save it as a favorite or share it with your friends. // Main functions // - When a character is entered in either the upper or lower frame, it will appear in the opposite frame in reverse order to create a palindrome. - The contents of the upper and lower frames can be swapped at the touch of a button, and whether or not the last character in the upper frame is repeated can be toggled. - You can also copy palindromes to the clipboard and save them to your favorites. - Saved palindromes are listed and can be deleted, reordered, or recalled. - You can also share your palindromes on Twitter.
