An amazing app

I absolutely LOVE this app!!! I’m already obsessed.

I do wish that their nicknames were included though. And maybe some facts?

Regardless, I love this!

Response from developer

Hello titangoji, The confirmation code might have ended up in the spams section of your inbox. It shouldn't be a problem as you should be able to access the app without registering now. We hope this helps. Best, The Bay Cetology team
