Not to go too far off topic, but I've Never been a fan of iCarly. App was expensive for what it did, but at least it never forced me to use its proprietary dongle. The main reason I don't use it any more is that it would not function without an active internet connection. Why does iCarly need to know my IP address and location in order to tell me what codes my car is throwing or if I need to register a battery? I don't care about its connected services anyway. Privacy overreach. I absolutely HATE business models that are predicated on knowing where I am or what's going on on my phone at any particular time.

SO, I got the much more capable Protool.
