I love the app, but VOODOO hates the users. They suck for removing BTS. They don't listen to the users. Only generic and automatic responses to our feedbacks.

I love this app but the new updates just make it horrible. They removed the BTS and we can no longer swipe within our bereals in the memory section... We have to go back and scroll through our bereals each time to find the one we want to see... Please put this option back it was really useful!
