User reviews

I like the idea, but it is very annoying that it shows up again when switching between views within Facebook. If I'm already on Facebook and click on something, I shouldn't be asked why I am on Facebook... Also, there needs to be a fourth answer to the "why" question: I'm often there to write/post/share something, but that isn't an option.

Is thee an option for doing this with YouTube and other sites? I really like this simple mental block.

Add more options. I'm one who opens Facebook curious as to any notification have I received? Am I missing out on someone wanting to talk/share something with me? And I believe most other people do that too. This link proves why: https://www.1843magazine.com/features/the-scientists-who-make-apps-addictive Contact me at [email protected] if needed.
