I dont get this. I need a favour so I log into an app to ask for it - rather than email, call my friend?

Secondly - I have to pay 1.99 before even asking for a favour - I take it my friend needs the app too?

Hey I want a favour - can you first download this app for £1.99 and then I'm going to send you a favour request.

I might be missing something - I can't see how this works in the real world.

The £1.99 pricing is a work in process. It shows a different price randomly. We're trying to use click through data to find the optimal price.

Everyone needing the app is an issue that we know about, and we're trying to work out a way to solve the issue so people can try it out and see how it's beneficial before having to cough up some cash.

Good luck finding a solution!

I personally cant see myself using this with my friends.

However I would be interested in an app where there was a network of people around the world - who were willing to do 5-10 min favours for each other.

Can some one proof read this blog post? Can some one provide critical feedback on this song I just produced?

Could work by karma / ratio like torrents / split into interests etc

Maybe remove the price of the app and allow people to donate if they want to have someone / access to a network to help with their 5-10min tasks.

All the best :)
