Seems like it has potential, but ….

I have not used it in real time yet, but it seems to display potential. But it could be cumbersome too. Stay tuned for a further update.

Was great, now useless

The recent acquisition of this company turned this app completely useless for the average user. Don’t support this behavior. Find something else.
