App needs 2mb space on the device, regardless of install location!!!
Sorry, there will be no translations to any language. I am one person collecting steel data and coding the app on 3 platforms. I have neither time nor resources to keep constantly translating large database.
You can help by reporting missing alloys, and incorrect info. That's a lot more helpful than leaving utterly useless "I didn't find what I wanted" comments, what do you expect me to do anyway, dream up what was it you didn't find? 99% of the times people are mixing up knife brand names with steel names, I can clear that much up if anything else.
App is no longer distributed in Russia, due to the excessive amount of complaints and bad ratings, all because I can't translate to Russian, even though app's Russian description did explain why I can't.
