Ross (3284 KP) rated Caffe Nero in Apps
Nov 3, 2017
I have been using the Nero app for a few months now, mainly to collect stamps towards free coffees (just like the paper ones, you scan your app at the checkout). I have recently linked a debit card as well so can now pay for drinks as well as getting a stamp and this works really well.
Also for the Christmas period, every time you pay for a drink with the app you get a Christmas cracker to open with the chance of winning extra stamps, free drinks etc.

This book was FANTASTIC.
I have never read a John Green book yet, so finding this gem from my local library system was a great find.
Aza has issues. Issues that none of would ever wish for our worst enemy much less a young girl. Her particular issue I don't have an exact word for, germ phobia with some invasive thoughts add some OCD in there?
Aza and her friend Daisy are looking to come into some money by doing some detective work. What she finds more than anything is an honest and open friendship with maybe a little love thrown in there.
My love for this book is amazing, now I have to find his other books and read them.

Finally!
I cannot be happier that there is finally a Smashbomb app in my life. Although there's nothing wrong with the website, having an app to use on the go is so much easier.
And the app itself is so easy to use, just a condensed version of the site. It's very responsive and runs very well, and it's very easy to navigate around.
My only criticism (sorry @Bird) is that I'm an android user and the app doesn't work with my back button. This is mainly me and my ocd, but I rely heavily on the back button and using it in the app currently just closes the app & sends me back to my phone home screen. Not a massive issue obviously but I don't have this with my other apps, so just being picky!

Honest Portrayal of Mental Health Issues
This book blew me away, I honestly wasn't sure what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised. The way John Green portrayed mental health was brutally honest. It was hard to read at some points but it was refreshing not to have a YA book romanticize mental illness but instead to show it from all sides: the way it affects familial relationships; the way it affects friendships; the way it affects romantic relationships and how easy and scary it is when your thoughts spiral out of control.
I loved reading about Aza and how she navigates through her friendships, new relationships and dealing with OCD. I have so much respect for John Green after reading this. It was very well done, and the Star Wars references were an added bonus!

A unique representation of the human condition
It's hard to believe that human beings can hoard. The act of keeping things just to keep them. What goes through their minds?
They sometimes live in filth, human and animal waste, their homes toppling from within. Do they not see it? I know it's a disease like alcoholism or OCD, but it just pains me yet fascinates at the same time.
I find it so interesting to watch through the TV lens at those who are different than me. It makes me think my life isn't as bad as I think it is and I feel like I want to help them.
This show has been on 10 years now and it never fails to amaze me. I sometimes weep as I see how others live and that their families cannot even help them sometimes.
