Ratings and reviews

The only thing that would make this app better is if you could customize the relationship between two or more characters.

Don't use much but fun.

So far its very handy. One thing I suggest is, under design a character, it would be nice to have the option to lock in items that you like so that you can continue to randomize until you like the character. Also, possibly increase the size of some buttons as they are rather hard to push.
