This might in fact turn out to be one of the biggest, most expensive blunders by the company in question. Years later the tale is recalled - aggressive misguided legal department s…

Oh yeah, colossal piece of shit it still is.

The iOS app is the single worst piece of shit app I have ever used. Take a look at VictorOps.
