### 4/5 — Great app for curbing Twitter addiction!

*2014-01-08*

In spite of some misspellings, this app is a fantastic way to limit your time on Twitter. I've wasted lots of time on Twitter, and when my family began to remark about how much time I was spending, I needed to take action. Since Twitter can be helpful, I didn't want to quit it altogether. This app lets you choose how many times a day you can check Twitter, as well as the maximum number of minutes each time. I set mine for 5 times a day, 6 mins. each time--but rarely use all 5 times. This app would be great for parents who want to limit their kids' times on Twitter. 

A couple of things could improve the app: First, after clicking on a link within tweet, you are returned to the top of your timeline--so you have to scroll all the way down to where you left off. It would be a huge help if it kept your place & returned you to where you left off.

Second, a "read later" function for longer articles (using Readability, for example), would help allow you time "off the time" for longer articles. There was an "add to reading list" option, but when I pressed it it took me to the article, with no way to return to my timeline. I had to close the app and restart, burning one of my allotted allowed sessions.

If these things were fixed, 5+ stars for sure!
