SafeNotes v1.5.1.1
IMPORTANT

Bug Fix Release
This release is a bug-fix version: Fixed a bug with the ResetLoginStatus button in settings.
- The
ResetLoginStatusbutton in the settings, when clicked, would not change the setting, telling the app that the user is logged out; so, if you wanted to close the application after clicking this setting... You would need to log back in before logging out, or force close in Task Manager, and that is obviously not ideal.
