While this is def neat, it shows signs of a classical computer scientist fallacy: "There's a recurring problem I occasionally run into, and each time it takes me about 3 minutes to solve it. No more! Instead, I'm going to spend a few weeks programming an app that solves the problem for me!"

The thing is though that it takes 1 person a few weeks and then could save many more people time.

Also if you are already familiar with Android this app should take hours not weeks.

This assumes that the app doesn’t help anyone else though.
