  1. Hello there!
    I've just come across you LCARS App on the windows store, can I please ask if you are willing to do a trail, so I may try this app out? I'm a true Sci-Fi nerd and would be most willing to buy it, It's just I can't afford to waste even a £1 these days.

    I'll return here every 24-hours just in case you leave a reply,... Thank you
