Sure it's easy - and also a major waste of limit screen space for a one-time
function.

I get your point about some people not realizing functionality is there, but
again, it's a one-time learning experience that really doesn't justify a
dedicated button or whatever, IMO.

The skipping entries in the ADC2 app, for example, was just poorly
implemented - that should have been a dedicated button with the frequency in
which it was going to be used.

Use a "quick start" dialog on the user's first run to let them know this
exists, or Toast messages as "Tips" as they navigate the screens perhaps.
