User reviews

Great app, exactly what I was looking for, however the issue that steph g reported 2 months ago is still an issue where you sometimes have to refresh the page sometimes to get it to work. Other than that it it perfect. EDIT: This issue has been fixed. Can happily give this 5 stars now
