Review
| General: Article is new enough and long enough |
|---|
| Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems |
|---|
|
| Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation |
|---|
|
| QPQ: Done. |
Overall:
The article could use some screenshots to illustrate the points made about the merits of the app's appearance and interface but that's not a show-stopper. The first hook seems reasonable (though I've copy-edited its links) while the ALTs are no better.
