Pretty lame. Nothing here that you've not heard or thought of. Too short for a $3 app. I want my money back
Looking to move up
Chock full of cool, very helpful tips. Makes total sense to me, even if I only use a handful of them. Many tips can be used in social settings too, just to make new friends. Although some tips seem to state the obvious, that's only after you read them and say "why didn't I think of that, it's so simple?". I like the pithy, direct, short, to the point tips. A winner.
