pretty decent, does what it's supposed to, but I agree with some of the other reviews, like improving the list system, making cancelling a bit simpler.

Overall fine as a browser app, but lacking some of the helpful stuff of the phone app. Particularly the ability to cancel w/in the first few seconds the phone app has. I accidentally started it & had to cancel (killing the tree) & couldn't get rid of the dead tree. Which brought up some wonkiness in the syncing between my phone app & the browser version. Unable to clear accidental start in browser. The dead trees were on my phone version & so I paid in app coins to remove the dead trees in the phone app, but it didn't remove them from the browser only on my phone even after forcing a sync twice. Really a minor issue, but annoying.
