    WTF?

    App?

    Why does everything need an app? It's a fucking smartphone, it has a web browser, just bookmark the website! Are people really that lazy?

    WTF, because everything now makes as much sense as Spike Milligan on acid.

    Apps

      Could be worse...

      It could be the Phobos-Grunt app, which hangs, doesn't respond and then crashes and explodes...
