Ilídio Pedro Caessa (ID: 0000007cb42f6283) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 08/28/2021 A ideia é interessante, no entanto a gestão das definições é fraca, não conseguindo alterar a localização, aparece Barcelona por defeito, não se conseguindo fazer a gestão das horas ou das aplicação favoritas. Muito a melhorar
