This project is an old app that used to be on the App Store. I have decided to make it open-source. The majority of custom views are drawn out and manipulated programmatically - this has made certain logic long and complex. In hindsight, it would have been better to have further utilised storyboards and xibs to handle this custom view drawing. This is a potential improvement to the project.
Have any suggestions for improvements to the app? Please create an issue or pull request.
