Ratings and reviews

Thank for making this app SIMPLE, and keeping it TINY! Of course, some will say you should add this or that, but only do it if you can keep it SIMPLE and TINY, please. It is fundamentally good at what it does. It did take me about 9 seconds to read and learn the operating "buttons" technique, which at first seemed not the most intuitive, but I was wrong. Once learned, the operations work superbly, and were a nice innovation that you came up with.

My mom's 90 years old, I needed a simple app to leave a message on the screen large enough so she'd be able to read it. The screen needs to be always on because of another service app. I needed large text, high contrast on dark background, static text. And this is is it! This app is spot on, extremely small file size, uses practically no resources. And it's free. Great job! Before you write a bad review, read the app info! This way we who need this app will not be unnecessarily discouraged by bad reviews.

Simple to use. Scales text to fit screen. Does not use any risky permissions. Tiny app. Needs improvement: Options for wrapping long lines. Set foreground and background color. Save snippets for future use.
