It’s difficult to know how to approach this one really, as an app the features look fine with clear screen pages and it’s all pretty thorough.

I bet you have, well you ... Read more
This is all a bit of fun and probably serves the same purpose as a stress ball for people who are constantly dragged into pointless meetings at work.The business world is full of people who consider spending hours talking about something is more productive than actually doing anything about it.
