Congrats on your launch, nice website and getting to the first page of HN! Some feedback :

1. It took me a moment to figure out what the app actually does. As some other posters suggested, the name doesn't sound very straightforward.

2. I think it's an idea that could be explained very nicely in a video. Happy people, happy places. Everybody using the app.

3. Can somebody explain me (this is not the first time I see it) why so often the download buttons are "download on the app store" and then "get it on google play"? Why a different verb? Is there any implicit reasoning behind it?

I assume it has to do with the official branding of both Google Play and the Apple App Store. The official button images that they've approved use the verbs 'get' and 'play' respectively, and I believe it is probably against their TOS to use non-approved graphics/text/branding for download buttons.
Yep, that's exactly what it is.
Great feedback! thanks!

We're going to rework the messaging to make it simpler, clearer and more straightforward. and yes, a video is something that would go a long way in explaining the app. have downloaded the app? WOuld love it if you used the app and let us know how we could improve it! cheers
