Great tool. Very useful for decrypting RUADs

This is an excellent resource to have in my pocket. The only issue I have is the color of the popup menus. There is not a lot of contrast between the colors making it difficult to read. Edit: I didn't realize that dark mode was an issue. Updated to the latest version and the contrast in much better in dark mode. Thanks

Nice little app to use as quick reference. My only issue is the abbreviation pull down window is too narrow so some acronyms do not display correctly and are cut off.
