For example, I've been trying to memorize a poem, and so I entered in the verses and set up the prefs to do messages (verses) in list order. Message then pops up each verse of the poem in order, at the rate I want. I'm finally memorizing the poem.
I also like that you can save (and later, reload) any list of you create, so you can rotate lists or have an archive you can re-use later if you want.
All in all, a useful addition to my software tools at a very reasonable price that I was happy to pay.

2) When changing the slider there is no live updating of the time you're selecting which makes it hard to get the timing just right.
3) Ten minutes of demo time is ridiculous.
4) It would be good if instead of just putting your text up on the screen it blacked out the rest of your screen for the specified time as well.
5) Having said all that, this app shows promise but at the moment is lacking in the implementation.
