Sometimes the idea of an app is just stunningly cool. Like, to the point when you want to use it daily. But still, insufficient attention to errors and glitches is what often ruins them. Their features are usually not that complex, so there soon appear similar apps. The bugs in the original application are not a complete deal-breaker, but would you rather use a buggy app or a stable one?
