In iWorld, there are apps, and there are apps. You can find an app for nearly everything for your iPhone. Literally. We have seen apps that are totally functional–from balancing checkbooks, to keeping to-do lists, to diabetes monitoring. As well we have seen apps that serve no purpose whatsoever—from an app that turns your iPhone into a virtual light saber, to virtual beer, to a virtual abacus.
It makes one think that for all the brilliant apps that developers have come up with, some of them may have just a little too much time on their hands. So without further ado……..
APPS THAT MAKE US WONDER……….
SmackTalk alters the users voice in such a way that you can get high-pitched squeaky voices from your baritone-voiced Uncle Vinnie, as well as low-pitched freaky voices from your five year old. I tried it with my five year old, and now he is hooked on what he will sound like when “mede are a big man”. Too cute. SmackTalk works in real-time and in every language.
Here is an interesting one: Mugshots. Impress your friends with an app that creates an instant mugshot, thereby upping your ‘street cred’ in an instant! This app uses an image that you take with your phone, scales it, flips and rotates, if necessary, and then uses ingenious color un-correction, and adds a black eye or busted lip. Voila! You’re a criminal!
DirtyMouth offers a collection of dirty phrases and can even translate from one language to another. But really? How much profanity can you really use in other languages?
Ever heard of cow-tipping? Well, Cow Toss takes it a step further. You guessed it! You get to virtually drag and toss a cow. Now maybe it’s just me, but this is the ultimate in wasted time, unless you actually live somewhere where you spend your time cow-tipping.
Finally, the mother of all time-wasting, brain-melting, you-have-way-too-much-time-on-your-hands apps: Zombie Survival Guide. Apparently, top scientists have predicted a zombie onslaught in the near very near future, and this app will help you ward off these vile creatures. The app offers tips on gathering supplies, preparing travel kits, life-saving combat skill, and a whole plethora of other skills you will need to save your life.
Seriously??
