I was trying not to be too confrontational, and therefore stopped short of just saying that app was worthless. But I see your point. If this app is your sole justification for owning a smartphone, and I would like to hear how newbee answers this, then it is certainly not a good reason to own one. It is possible that he needs it for business, which I am not condoning but is an entirely different debate. And on other threads, I have seen, and agreed with, many opinions that say that it is difficult to justify. But if he already owns one, and has a valid reason, then should he not put such an app on it?
