Dino Nguyễn (ID: 000000f52236b44f) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 02/10/2023 This is pretty good, but you should change the logo :V

Juan Cubas (ID: 0000008b1f6bf01d) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/26/2023 No es invasiva, tiene todo lo que puedes necesitar. Quizás le haría falta un acceso directo para entrar a cosas como el correo sin tener que tenerlo en marcadores, pero es de las más útiles que he usado.

Heather Morrow (ID: 00000061a6a835d6) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 07/18/2022 Loved it but I usually would have a gif as a wallpaper with no stuff in the middle of the screen. And if there is something in the middle of the screen, then its clear. Which you did so thanks but I just wish I could put a gif as the wallpaper rather than just a picture
