 * Symbol delete vote.svg By my count, this article barely meets the length threshold at roughly 1600 characters. Honestly, it still looks too short and reads/looks like a stub to me. Many subsections only have one uncited sentence, and the entirety of the "Benefits" section reads like an ad. There is also a Play Store link in the body of the article. In fact, much of the article reads like an advertisement; this is going to need lots of work.
 * As for the photo, I would recommend cropping around the edges to include only the logo. The rest of the text is superfluous.
 * As for the hook, I'm not sure what "launched" means. This is the same word used in the source here, but it sounds to me like he merely announced its release and was not an integral part of the app's development.--haha169 (talk) 05:33, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol possible vote.svg This is the correct icon for a nomination that needs work, not a flat-out rejection. Yoninah (talk) 22:21, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Apologies, that's the icon I'll go with as long as the nominated article is improved. --haha169 (talk) 02:15, 11 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Symbol delete vote.svg Despite two reminders on the nom's talkpage, none of the issues I brought up was addressed by the nominator even while a few were fixed by other editors. Even so, the article lacks citations, among other shortcomings. It has been about two weeks and the nominator has been unresponsive and I haven't seen much effort to fix any of the issues. --haha169 (talk) 16:47, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
