@tkrones Hey Tom, I'm Dean's co-founder. We launched our beta in Australia to test our assumptions and then launched globally in November 2014.

@dean_kelly21, great app. I just installed it and am looking forward to playing around with it over the next few days. As a fellow entrepreneur I have a couple of questions about your failures and successes. First, why the relaunch? What changed from the last version to this version? Second, I'm impressed at how many recommendations you have for my home… See more
