Hello and welcome to App Stories. I'm John Forhees and with me is Federico Vitechi. Hey, Federico.

Hello, John. It is fantastic to talk to you today. It is fantastic to talk to you today.

It is fantastic to talk to you, I'm doing very well. You know, we were just, we just got off a very short pre-show, a very spicy short pre-show, because we are making some changes with apps.
