+# Message Twist to Scroll
+
+Temporarily activate scroll on twist function when a new message triggers the message app. This way it's possible to scroll through a message in the message scroller hands free.
+
+## Usage
+
+This is a bootloader app and only needs to be installed to add the functionality to the watch.
+
+## Requests
+
+Mention @thyttan in an issue on the espruino/BangleApps repository.
