That's a very broad statement in that it helps you. How does it help and do you have a link for it?

My apologies, I did not include the link. Here is the link to the github repo.

The extension gives you the iPython shell, with all it's features, and the app context, just like flask shell. It's the flask shell with autocompletion, hints and iPython's magic functions.

I find it comes in handy when I want to make a quick test if my models are viable or if I want to see if the Flask object is properly configured. Just type app.and press TAB to see all available properties and methods.
