Sabaaidii Baw (ID: 000000f3f4d9fbf1) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 10/16/2019 Nice start, the key feature is the schedule FMPOV, don't see this in competitors. Small enhancements could improve usage: - add an entry in context menu, faster than having to click to the upper button, - the button icon is not visible if toolbar background is black. Bigger enhancement would be displaying the reading list when clicking on the button. Anyway, thanks for making it!
