I hate the compass. All it does is promote a two-party system.I'm a libertarian, and the compass pointed to "centrist". I wish somebody would make a "World's smallest political quiz" app.

It's still pretty new, even if some have had a few weeks to work on apps.I'd still give it a bit of time before all of the bugs get worked out.

It's not more popular because Facebook won't approve any apps for their public directory! No one knows about it... You must know the url for the app about page or grab it from a friend's profile.

That's not true. I found it when I went through the app list. It wasn't working earlier but it works now. Very useful. I have friends I didn't know that used digg.
