The ability to quickly turn off the phone is useful when you need to activate a long password so that you cannot be forced to use your fingerprint to unlock it.

Now can we figure out a way to split expenses like cable (some may not want it), lawn services (how frequent), etc?

This is my favorite feature that Udacity has and the others don't.

- I like your icon.

- Maybe change the tint color of your app to match the orange from the icon and screenshot backgrounds.

- I would get rid of the status bar in the first screenshot.

- I would change "If you're a woman, living in London, in your 20s or 30s" to just "If you're a Londoner with too many dresses"

- Is the designer description provided by the user, or automatically generated by the app? This would be a cool feature.

- The font of the item and designer description doesn't go well with the look of the rest of the app.

Great first app!

"Flat UI was super hot months before Apple has used it and that’s rarely happened before."

One problem is Apple's yearly release schedule. This allows other companies to innovate while Apple is still waiting months for their next scheduled release.

But the information in the cDNA already exists in the mRNA. The justices seemed to argue that removing the introns was the step that makes cDNA patentable, but the introns are already removed from an mRNA molecule that is about to be translated into a protein.

An mRNA strand that is about to be translated into a protein has the introns removed, so how is the cDNA different enough from the naturally occurring mRNA other than it is a mirror image?

Also, when did cDNA come to mean composite DNA instead of complementary DNA? This seems made up to imply some kind of invention instead of it just being the mirror image of the DNA molecule.

Lots of people are already doing this with 1Password either in iCloud or on Dropbox. As long as it's encrypted with the appropriate algorithms, what's the issue?

Another problem I have with hard to reach UI elements is the fat at the bottom of my thumb will hit the bottom corner of the screen before I can tap what I originally wanted to touch.

I think it's great. I've always had trouble saving any money always desperately waiting for my next paycheck, and after only two months, I've saved more than I ever have.

It can't really replace a full bank though unless all you do is use a debit card for all your transactions (like me).
