Favourite app

this app is my most used app on my phone. i don’t even bother to look outside through the window. i use this app so much even my friends have begun to rely to me to know if it’s dark outside or not. truly revolutionary. if you’re ever looking to something to do watching the screen change from “no” to “yes” is truly exhilarating, most amazing experience to ever exist in man kind. highly recommend. btw if you’re wondering it’s not dark outside at the moment of writing this review.

Not gonna lie it can be useful, but almost never

The thing is, it can’t be useful if you don’t wanna get up and open the window or look out the window and you’re just laying in bed and you don’t know if it’s dark outside yet you could just check this app so I guess it can be useful, but nearly never
