I use it for work to quickly answer with some quick sentences or recurrent canned emails to customers the good thing is it's very easy to use, the search is very fast the bad thing is the number of canned answers are limit which currently force me to search for an alternative. I think an improvment would be to create a hosted version of the app which may be paid to compensate the hosting (lifetime license for some bucks for eg)
