I don't mean to sound entitled, and I hope that the author of Arctic is in good health. But, with the TestFlight soon expiring and the AppStore version somewhat outdated, I was hoping if there would be anyone who had any news about updates? Or, should we be looking for alternatives?

I literally just installed your app (on Android) to give it a whirl about 15 minutes ago. I'm afraid to ask how you chose the name...

Glorp glorp kinda sounded like a Rick and Morty character, and it made me laugh. I don’t think it is a character, but I was like glorp glorp… Blorp? Lol

After having worked on this app for 6 months, I told my girlfriend I was gonna call it Blorp and she was like “yeah, let’s keep working on the name”. I bought blorpblorp.xyz and didn’t look back.

Also, happy cake day!

Sounds like you might be a character (that's a good thing, BTW)! Thanks for the explanation - I love R&M as inspiration!
