FAQ

Why did you create this?
Mostly for fun, but also to learn more about React Native and what is possible. I will be adding features I think Apple should implement as well.

How do I use this?
It will be a close copy from the real thing. Meaning if you already know the app, it should be fairly intuitive.

Can I contribute?
Of course, feel free to add your own features to it, that would only be fun! Make a PR and I will add it.

Can I use it for Android?
It works, but is not optimized. It's neither created for the Android platform visually. Logically it works fine though.
