2024-12-21	Ja*****	Pretty Good! Used OCR to 2turn a long & noisy pic of a list of transactions in2 text, displayed it using this app, removed a lot of unneeded data using a physical keyboard and the old-fashioned "[SHIFT]+↓↓↓ [DEL] ↓ [SHIFT}+↓↓↓ [DEL]" pattern. It's very repetitive, so you just get into the pattern and keep repeating it. & you get to use the old kbd shortcut for UNDO when you goof, [CTRL]+Z! Taking what would B 1+ hrs & makes it 5 min! &used S&R tyD up & turn $→+. Paste in2 Calc=Total$! Froze once

2024-10-23	Gr*****	It made the unforgivable bug: it lost data! Two hours of careful research and editing which I thought it was auto-saving (because there's no Save button), then I automatically hit the only highlighted button which I subconsciously thought was Save and it opened a new file! So I hit Back and it flashed up an error page asking if I want to Save -- yes! But it crashed and now only says "Restarting a session" even after a reboot and asking Android to close the app. Unsafe. Uninstalled.
