3. Settings

Currently, there is only one setting to change: “Send anonymous analytics data“. When enabled, the app anonymously stores usage data, i.e. the Expression being evaluated. This helps us understand how users are using the Expression Tester app.

The app does not store the results of an expression nor do we have any way to connect the usage data to a specific instance or user.
