I agree. There are lots of usability issues with the website. However this still one of the better websites compare to all the government websites.

I have some eye complications like dry eyes and due to this my doctor advised me cut down use of smartphone as much as I can. My first thought was to just get a feature phone and dump smartphone altogether. But there are few things about smartphone that I can not really give up now.

1. Maps - maps come in very handy at times when you are stuck in some unknown area and want to find way home. 2. Browser - to be able to check anything on the web is also very important to me. 3. Access to online storage and email.

Basically I gave up all social media, all smartphone gaming and other unwanted apps and use smartphone for basic internet access device. I have cut down my smartphone usage from 3 hours a day to about half an hour a day.

Advice to author. Create iOS and Android versions of games ASAP. You are just hours away from getting cloned on app stores.

I second that. I have been using Splitwise for few years and absolutely love the product.

Site just crashed my IE8.

Generally I have had nicer experience with most sites developed under Obama administration like wh.gov and such.

One question: When a friend send me an app do I have option to say 'NO' before app installs itself?
