What feedback? All I see is "+1" ? There are upvote buttons for a reason.

Ah ok. Let the hate continue.

I downvote people who respond "+1" for the same reason that I downvote people who respond "LOL OMG ME TWO!" To improve the signal:noise ratio. Downvoting you was and continues to be, the correct course of action to achieve this aim.

I actually agree with you, once you bothered explaining.

Me too. 29, no MBA and not even half of that :-)

I'm 26 and I make 160k in financial services. Its enough for me and a girlfriend to afford a 600 sqft loft. 80k will get you 5 roommates and bedroom with a curtain. In San Francisco 250k to 300k/y is high paid. 100k-150k is making it, 80k would be in the low paid arena.

I've got a 90m^2 flat next to the beach, a car, a girlfriend who has no income since November, a cute dog :-) and money in the bank. All paid with my less than 40k€/year income. Of course this is not The Valley, this is Barcelona.

I didn't know that living there was so expensive, I'm sorry for you :-(

Support for push notifications would be a huge plus as well.

It does support push notifications.

Should have clarified - I was trying to say that it having support for push notifications is a huge plus! :)
