Which is a deal-breaker for me.
That said, is anyone here actually using HalloApp? If so, what are your impressions so far?

#5Tip: it's not an official grammar rule, but in colloquial terms, scare quotes [1] are often used to indicate that the speaker is being sarcastic or that the quoted thing isn't actually true.
