Superfijn en makkelijk!
Very easy-to-use app. I especially like that you can submit a correction for the year, and if it's right it gets applied straight away. The different ways to vary the printout are great too. Highly recommended!
Sehr einfach zu bedienende App. Besonders gut finde ich, dass man eine Korrektur für das Datum schicken kann und das dann (wenn es stimmt) auch direkt umgesetzt wird. Auch die verschiedenen Möglichkeiten, den Ausdruck zu variieren ist top! Sehr empfehlenswert!
