I appreciate all feedback, feel free to email me with any suggestions, bug reports or any mistakes within the app

Useful for school classes such as 'Design & Manufacture' or 'Product Design'.

If there are any issues or any recommendations you have please email me and I'll try to fix it as soon as possible. Any at all, even if an image seems a bit too big or too small, any spelling mistakes or any factual errors please inform me.
