### 5/5 — Surprisingly Useful

*2020-05-09, version 1.0*

Simple but works. Would recommend to anyone who struggles with remembering names.

### 5/5 — I never forget a face ...

*2020-05-08, version 1.0*

... but I constantly have to call my acquaintances and business colleagues “bud” or avoid names altogether. I’ve been looking for something that would help me with this incredibly inconvenient problem. This app is really simple and has helped me avoid many more of those awkward situations than BD (Before Download). Highly recommend for anyone who wants to invest a few minutes of time a week and be one of those people who can greet everyone by name. No longer do I remember their second grade teacher’s dog’s favorite type of snack, but also the name of the person I’m talking to.
