What I Like: A central location to keep and charge Qi-enabled mobile phones, keys, wallets, and other small magnetized items; Display tells you the weather and gives reminders; Notification of changing weather before you go outside; Notification when added family members arrive or leave home; Securely mounts to your wall (or other surface) with either screws or double-sided 3M tape

What Needs Improvement: The current app is a little buggy, but I suspect all will be ironed out by the time MagHive ships
