this app is absolutely wonderful and amazing. unfortunately I'm only giving it four stars because of a new phone which does not play nice with this app. I have a Google pixel 10 pro and unfortunately the apps s hamburger menu at the top left is not accessible on a Google pixel 10 because that is also where the status bar for the Android is. on all my other devices. this is a very wonderful, exceptional and amazing app. I Hope the devs see this and get in touch with me about testing a fix.
