danger

This application has been deprecated and removed from swizzin.

One or more of these reasons can apply to why this application was removed:

  • We have conducted surveys among our userbase to determine which apps were being used, and less than 2% have expressed their interest in this application.
  • The application is severely out of date or no longer maintained, which causes us a severe headache when it comes to supporting it. While not a primary factor, this is very often a very strong support to other reasons.
  • The application has reached its EOL, and a newer version is available as a separate package

We're sorry if this causes you any inconvenience.
