This version is a regression in usability rather than an improvement.

I was disappointed to find that the only evidential change to this app was the addition of an ad to buy the purchasable version, and the reduction in size of the text input box. The earlier version was a great app and easier to use.

Impressed but not enough customization

I tried Chinese characters on this little app and it displayed them with no problem at all. Having said that, this app could do better with the ability to change speed and colour..

Looks ok, is free, but lacks features

Too simple. Not very useful. There's almost no chance you'll ever be in a situation where:"I wish I had that Banner Free program" comes to mind. But, it is free, so nice one!
