Notes
- The app has already been approved by the Play Store, however, I'm starting rollout at 20% because the v2.0.0 release never got approved by the Play Store due to a configuration issue. It took almost 3 weeks to find that out. To be cautious, I will wait a few days before rolling the update out to more devices.
- Desktop release will soon follow. Stay tuned!
Enjoy!
