Ratings and reviews

Worked incredibly well, but I just for some reason didn't know that the "BROWSE" word when importing is actually a button that can be pressed to locate the file. It seemed really misleading to show an editable text field for the full file path; I tried to manually figure out the path but it replaced spaces with a % formatting character that I didn't know about. I don't think the path should be editable at all. That was unnecessarily confusing. It did end up working, though!

it's unique, very powerful and very useful. It also should have a very clear warning dialog after you tap the Clean button... I lost hours and hours of time due to this - basically if you have 2 or more shortcuts to the same word, it will delete all but 1 of them. Overall, Clean-ing just deleted several hundred of my shortcuts because of this. So developer, please address this! Otherwise it is locked on stellar.

To me the description of UDM states to transfer Gboard learned words. I've tried this out and it extracted only about thirty very old words. This is certainly the fault of Google, and UDM even warns that only one out of two Gboard databases can be accessed. So I am quite sure that UDM does all that is possible, and that quite well, but be aware that as a Gboard transfer tool it is not very effective. @Adrian maybe you could make the "Full support... including Gboard" sentence clearer?
