I've noticed A LOT of these apps and/or extensions are only a bookmark to the website, just like this one. My expectations where high when I saw it. The Spiceworks IT Community is uninstalling, and I recommend others do the same, unless an extravagant bookmark that has to be downloaded and installed is what you wanted.

Literally just a bookmark to the website, only it's on the apps page. Why?
