I love everything about this site but I wish it was an app. most of it is easy to use but the text feature makes it a little hard to use.

This is a fun cite to connect with others from around the world. It can be a tad overwhelming, so you need to be organized and remember what you wrote to several different people. I wish there was a way to keep track of interactions and maybe there is if you pay the membership fees.
