--------------------------------
I encourage users to leave honest feedback via an App Store review. I read and consider all review feedback.
However, Apple does not provide a way for developers to respond to a review. If you have a question, complaint/concern, or suggestion, please do not hesitate to contact me! My goal is to answer all inquiries within 24 hours, but I usually answer much sooner.
Thank you for supporting wxRadar!
