Needs work
This looks to be a quick Mac Catalyst port of an existing iPad app. As such, its not quite ready for prime-time. Things that are intuitive on an iPad don't always work so well on the Mac. The app occasionally gets stuck in the editor and there is no obvious way to get back into display mode, as the editor's cancel button is dim. Paging left and right are not obvious and the app sometimes gets stuck on the last page. This would benefit from a centered paging widget. Menu items are not dimmed when they are not available, as one would expect on the Mac. For example the settings items are not available in edit mode, but since they are not dimmed, they appear to be non-functional. I see huge potential in this app, but it needs some work to become a fist class Mac app.
Awesome, and totally frustrating!
Be prepared to make it work with total trial and error. There are no resources to help you figure it out at all. And especially the configuration work is just not a standard UI. It's worth it, but geez what a PITA.
