Every iPhone lover has their favorite app; but due to the app overkill in the iPhone world. There are some apps that are just plain annoying and others that really serve no purpose at all.
These iPhone apps are just plain dumb.
According to CNNMoney there are a list of 8 apps that just don’t make the grade.
1. iNap@Work
Developer:SilentLogic Studios
Price: $0.99
This app promises to generate random office sounds — mouse clicks, keyboard taps, pencil sharpeners, coughs, and rustling paper — to give power-nappers some cover. Little sliders are supposed to control your “productivity” level and the frequency of each sound.
This app can really get you fired, as if the recession wasn’t bad enough. The last thing anyone needs is to be fired for something they didn’t do. But this seems to be a slackers dream; hold one second we haven’t seen the other horrible apps.
2. Zips
Developer: Jake Landon
Price: $0.99
(Also available in a free version, Zips Lite)?
“Zippers,” reads the promotional copy. “Sexy, suggestive, and seductive.” OK. But what’s the point of a virtual zipper that you can drag up and down until the fun — and the sexiness — wears off
Ok, Ok, not this one seems to be an app for perverts, and day dreamers who can seem to get any action. I mean who wants an app that just zips up and down. Whats so sexy about that? And what happens after the zipping is done. No happy ending or you gotta get another app for that?
3. Hold the Button
Developer:Me Mundo iPhone SL
Price: Free
Here’s the deal: The image of a fingerprint appears on the screen, you put your finger on it and hold it there. Keep holding. And holding. Forever. Or until you remember that you have a life.
The game is supposed to be a test of patience or stamina or will power or something. When you finally give in, you can compare your score with slackers all over the world.
Now, we seem to have a game for extremely bored people, come on now. The object of the game is to keep your finger on the cell phone screen until you win. The person with the highest score must have a lot of free time and must not have much of a social life. This app takes the cake in my book, I don’t think you can get any more pointless than Hold The Button.
4. Sexy Girl Talk - Sexy Alphabet Deluxe
Developer:theM Dev
Price: $0.99
From the creators of such classic apps as Moronizer and Angry Kittens Attack comes the 26 letters of the alphabet spoken by a “professional voice model…in a sexual and sophisticated way.” Sexual enough, apparently, for Apple to rate this application 12+ for “Infrequent/Mild Sexual Content or Nudity.”
You could have fooled us. What’s it good for? The developer — for whom English is apparently a second language — offers several suggestions: “Listen to some Sexy Alphabet. Listen to some nice pronunciation. Fun for all the guys.”
Now, this app makes parents not want to buy their kids iPhones, why, why, why. This app doesn’t even make sense, but it sure makes dollars.
5. Taxi Hold’em
Developer:iSignz
Price: Free
Designed for tourists who fear that big-city cabbies will ignore their waves and whistles and drive on by, this app does the whistling for you. And when you tilt your iPhone horizontally, it flashes the word “TAXI” colorfully and rapidly enough to require a disclaimer. (It can trigger seizures when used near epileptics.)
One reviewer suggested that if you are going to wave it around the streets of New York, it should really be flashing “STEAL ME.”
Wow. an app that can flag a taxi down for me,what a life changing experience. This app makes a taxi sign for you, and also gives a mugger the green light to take your phone. It seems so backward that this app is designed for tourist; but didn’t have their welfare in mind. Are you crazy waving around one of the most sought after technological devices of today, just to catch a cab. Seems a bit nuts to me; but what do we know we are just car guys.
6. FatBurner2k
Developer: Daily Burn
Price: $0.99
It’s a good thing Apple put this app in the “Entertainment” category. Otherwise one might be tempted to take seriously the claim that it can “help your body consume fat molecules using disharmonic, molecule to molecule, physical oscillations.”
Translation: It vibrates on your tummy. It will not, however, have the same effect — as the developer implies — as “moving and shaking…at some expensive members-only gym where people just stand around drinking coffee trying to look hot all day.”
Why go to the gym, when this app will make you slimmer without breaking a sweat. OK that may be a bit of a long shot but this app does wonders for your finger and eye muscles.
7. Hair Clinic: For Man and Woman
Developer:Sociag Project
Price: $3.99
If you believe an iPhone can make your love handles disappear, you’ll probably buy this, too: an app that promises to give you “healthy and abundant” hair by generating “various types of inaudible high and low frequencies to promote blood circulation around hair roots and under the head skin.”
Ok, So im going bald and my Rogaine is not doing the job, who to call? The Hair Clinic. Why, why, why and the most insulting thing about this app. Its not FREE, you actually have to pay for this imaginary hair growth tool. I spend that $4 bucks and buy baby carrots. At least that helps me really regrow my hair in real life.
8. Cow Toss
Developer: Digital Thought Software
Price: $0.99
Another publication rated Cow Toss the 4th stupidest app ever written for the iPhone, but that doesn’t do justice to all the other dumb apps.
The rules are simple: You flick the image of a cow with your finger to send it flying through space — mooing and bouncing all the way — and score points according to a system that is never fully explained. The developers say they hoped with the latest update to be rated “most stupid.” They’re not even close.
Now, the bouncing cow seems to round up our dumb apps; but there are some dummer ones (if that’s a word). The flying cow seems to be something to do while on the train heading from work. But do you really want to spend that $.99 on that app; when there are 55,000 more to choose from.
