Recently, one of our developers was invited to a choir potluck and became mesmerized by an entire table filled with every variety and color of Jell-O salad. After a bout of over-indulgence, he emerged from the church basement inspired. Not fully recovered from his sugar rush, he managed to string together a few coherent sentences and convince the team that colors are in, and off we went to make his hallucination a reality.

New: We re-built the app from the ground up. A new front end for you, and a back end that will allow us to make updates to the app much faster. Huzzah!
New: All new look to match iOS 8. If you like it, it was my idea. If you don't, it was our designer's fault.
New: Made it easier for us to add more content in future updates. We're excited for what the future holds for our app.
