IM SO SAD

I loved this app my family used it to plan stuff out. It was so easy to use and gave great recommendations. Im so sad that it’s gone now, I hope that maybe in the future they’ll be a revival 😞

Best app I’ve ever used 💔

I’ve never written a review, but I’ll do one now since it was my favorite app and I put lots of people on. I loved the idea behind it and have used it for a while. Really sad to see it go but thanks to the creator for helping me track places.
