- (2023-06-02) Rojal Shukri: impressed me with its extensive features, user-friendly, and good performance. However, it lacked shortcuts to stop and start the program, which hindered quick access and interrupted workflow. Despite this drawback, the program's overall quality and functionality make it a highly recommended choice for users.
