Re: New Countdown App Looking for Beta Testers
Ok... I had a game on it, and have thoughts. First thought:- It is amazingly good and just what the doctor ordered. The absence of a phone App version of Apterous has been an elephant in the room for at least 7 years now. It is crazy (given how wonderfully complex Apterous is, and how much time and ...

Re: Dr Imafidon to stand in for Riley
