Martin Jaekel (ID: 000000c1b5d5e618) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 03/25/2016 great! much better then similar apps but could use some options to make it perfect. Like when you click the "show Facebook feed" button, an option that the feed is only shown for x amount of minutes. And some kind of double authentication to show the feed, a check box or a recaptcha, to prevent easy one click procrastination (all controllable via options ofc.). And if no time limit is enabled, a button to hide the feed again. <3
