[tinfoil hat] A part of me believes that this was their intention in slowing down their browser site to the extent it has (and there is absolutely zero reason as to why it should load as slow as it does) in order to drive downloads for this application. [/tinfoil hat]

It's funny. That page says "A simple app that lets you text, video chat and stay close to people you care about." If it's so simple, then why does the browser version of the site take forever to load?

Yeah, it used to work well in mobile browser, then only in desktop mode in mobile browser, then not at all. Now it only "kinda sorta" works in desktop browser on ridiculously overpowered PC. Gotta keep the walls tight in that private garden.
