Usage
To support development and get full lifetime access to the official release, it is available for purchase (4.99 USD) on the App Store. There will never be in-app purchases or subscriptions to unlock anything.
To get the app for free, you are encouraged to clone and install on your own iOS device. You can also get it through the TestFlight open beta. Both of these are a great way to find and report bugs!
Please do not clone and redistribute on the App Store as a competitor, as this is just not a nice thing to do.
