It can only close the tabs that it opened .. It narrows down it's use because when I want to have a tab that I can open at any time but want it to close at a specific time it wont work. It is also a bit confusing to use, hard to know when the url that I added was really added in the app, needing to refresh the page to verify that everything was right

I love it's use. To get it to work can be bit of a roundabout way though. You can originally set your tabs to open. then after a few days you realise it isnt happening, so you have to fiddle a bit with it. But i love it when it works.
