Think Dirty 2016 in Review
2016 was a tumultuous year to loathe in many ways. Overall it had has its challenges, it broke hearts and might have derailed dreams. But at the same time, it’s been the 3rd year of an amazing ride for Think Dirty. As an annual tradition, on the eve of new year, I would love to reflect on many of the memorable moments. The one that tops the list would be our Android version launch one month ago in Play Store! For all the anxious Android users out there, we thank you and will continue work on updates and bug fixes. And… here are a few fun facts and highlights for 2016.
