FAQ

Who is the target market for Green Eggs?

We have designed Green Eggs to be used by everyone, but we anticipate that the app will be mostly used by non-technical users, including parents and grandparents. We have accommodated this market by creating a simple, friendly user interface and have included simple English instructions where appropriate.

Does Green Eggs have a user manual?

Why is it called Green Eggs?
