### 1/5 — Facebook login doesn't work

*2015-01-20*

Sign in just fine, then get kicked back to screen that says to choose Facebook, Twitter, or yahoo. Please fix. And, use the real Facebook authorization API, not a webview version.

### 2/5 — Need an English version

*2013-10-17*

Love the idea of this app, but there doesn't seem to be an option to change the language to English.
