Funktioniert gut :)

It's quite useful. Thanks to the developer

FANTASTIC. Pros: Simple, cute, effective, and perfect set of features (pause, resume etc.). Flexibility with JS regex is a lifesaver! Cons: While functionally excellent, the UI looks dated, UX can be smoother, and it needs a larger stock photo database.
