| 2025-12-09 | Previous version worked fine. Latest update broken the calendar keys at least in a Galaxy S25 (it is impossible to go back and forth e.g. a by single day/month: on each press lot of numbers change, no matter how briefly you press. You have to manually edit the dates). Reverted to 6.3.2 recovered from another phone, which works as expected. | ||

| 2024-12-20 | I've been using this app for quite a long time, but I must have changed something I didn't intend to. How do I get it to show local time? | ||
