"Saved me an hour at the DMV. I pinged it, someone replied 'line is out the door', so I stayed home and went the next day instead."

"I use this every day before going to the gym. If the ping says the weight room is packed, I just do cardio at home. Brilliant app."

"Earning karma points just for tapping 'Yes, it's crowded' while I'm eating at a restaurant is so easy. Traded my points for a free coffee!"
