 * Expectations: Your review should have an intro paragraph, three body paragraphs, and a conclusion paragraph. The intro should describe what the app is and why it is important for you. The body paragraphs should cover how it works, what is good about it, and what is bad about it. The conclusion should reiterate why you like it and how it applies to your life. Your review should also include pictures. A video is optional.
