- If the person is unaware that they act like a jerk, have a backstage conversation and gently inform them that they've crossed a line.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
