The App: The app will come in a couple of of weeks. Meanwhile, you can access the web version from you cell phone and it will adapt to your device. It’s amazing what has been accomplished in two months, but there are only so many hours in the day.
Cost: All of the above for FREE. There will be an optional subscription fee later to raise revenue to pay for growth of the platform but you will never pay for any of the above. Subscribers might get no ads and things like that but you will never have to pay for the experience you begin with.
