Awesome idea, free app, and nice design.

Ideas like this often seem to have a lot of detractors. It’s common to hear people say something like, “Why not donate the money that iPhone cost you to a charity?” And it is true—an iPhone is a luxury, not a need. But as a developer, you understand that people are going to own these items anyways. Why not encourage them to do good things?

And if you can get masses of people all doing the same good thing at the same time, it can be powerful and bring positive change. I hope this is a success.

I downloaded this yesterday. I think my favorite thing about it is that the act of kindness each day is so simple, its almost impossible not to do it each day when you read it. And on top of that, its a very pretty app. WIn-Win if you ask me.
