- Best idea for an app I've ever seen, my life is so much more productive now that I've blocked those pesky recommendations that send you into a spiral of watching useless video after useless video; just in the first day of using it I was able to complete more than double the amount of work I was able to before! I don't even usually write reviews, but for such a life changing app I just had to let the developer know what a great job they did, and let the rest of the world know that their life could be improved massively through just one click of that download button!
