Keeps me connected to my friends!

This app has been very useful for staying in contact with my friends during covid. Since everyone is working more during work from home, open hours helps me know when it’s ok to catch up with my friends. I get many more spontaneous calls and I have managed to connect with people that I had trouble reaching before. I definitely recommend! 11/10!
