Hopefully, most all of the major bugs are resolved, but as is the nature of programming, there is always something to be debugged or improved, so feel free to also share your ideas of features you might like to see.
To get started, first watch the app overview video here. Then, click the "login/create account button" or, go here: you will need to first go through the onboarding screen to set up your profile page.
