Feedback is very much welcome - positive, negative, neutral or just crazy, we'll take it all. 8.1 is coming soon and we'd like users to have a better 'app' experience this time around! So, see if this works, makes sense, and - help is welcome, too, we need to check those apps and approve them. > Best, > Lukas -- Disclaimer: Everything I do and say is based on my view of the world today.
