Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Danale is a verifiable legacy IoT/cloud platform established in 2007 with significant historical traction (1M+ app installs, 7k+ reviews). However, the submission quality is extremely poor, containing hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people have used my product') that contradict the niche nature of the utility. Recent user sentiment indicates technical degradation (connectivity issues, crashes), and the reported team size of 13 suggests the project may be in maintenance mode despite its large footprint.
