    Had a bit of a play about with the app, it looks really good! Naturally, I'm very pleased that this has come to Android before it goes to Apple.

    I'll have a further play about with it and see what's what.

    Through a combination of reading your phone identity and listening to your phone calls, we clone millions of students' identities each month. We enrol them in the university of TSR and then live in luxury off the tuition fees in a sub aqua paradise in the Pacific. It's a sweet gig
