Considerations and potential concern of using the tool
The app can be a helpful way to get feedback and insight on your online behaviour. However, even though stories and scenarios are based on real life, they do not always match exactly with the user’s situation. Note that there is room for interpretation.
Furthermore, the app continues to develop and likes to receive personal real life stories to add to their library and improve their services.
