THERE'S AN APP FOR IT
PERSONAL GYPSY
This is your very own fortune
telling app. Just enter your name, date of birth, sex, and credit
card number. Easy to use just open the app and hold palm of your
hand against screen then think of a question. Your question will be
answered with a completely random answer.
This may not the most worthless
app I have ever tested, but it's definitely in the top ten. I tried
the app while eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and now have
strawberry jam all over my phone. I expected the answers to be
completely random, but I thought they would at least be somewhat
appropriate. There seems to be only two answers, either , "You
will meet a tall dark stranger with a gun", or "You will
vote republican in the next election". True, either of the two
answers do appear random. However they are completely unrelated to
anything I might ask. I had hoped for some different answers, like,
"Buy a lottery ticket with the numbers, 6,13,19,34 & 56,"
or "Expect an audit by the IRS this year", or even "Your
dog will have puppies this year". Some people have been
surprised by the mysterious $19.99 charges which appear on their
credit card statements each time they use the app. Personally I think
the developers claim of 87% accuracy is overstated.
Despite these drawbacks I am
giving the app 4 stars because I like the taste of strawberry jam.
GLOW WORM
Replaces your smart phone's alarm
clock. No more annoying bells vibrations or ring tones just a soft
dim blue or pink glow that slowly starts at the time you need to
wake. No need to use the snooze button, the lights are very
unobtrusive, you can just sleep away the morning. Break free of your
antiquated mechanical clock or radio.
A really good app, I have always
had trouble getting up in the mornings. It was a constant struggle
with grogginess, a rush to get out of the house and to work, no time
for shower or even brushing teeth, just swipe underarm deodorant
over my tongue and and rush out the door. After replacing my alarm
clock with Glow Worm, I no longer worry, after just one week my boss
called me in the office and told me I no longer needed to worry about
coming to work. Now most mornings I am able to sleep till noon or
later.
Recommend best buy, I will give
this 5 stars. Definitely the best app ever.
HOT STUFF
Claims to boil water using your
smart-phone. Instructions are: fill 2 quart sauce pan with cold
water, turn on smart phone and place in water, for stove top, heat on
high for five minutes or until water starts to bubble. For microwave
place in microwave, turn on for 2 minutes at high, remove, rotate
pan, replace in microwave and heat for another 4 minutes.
I did not have a chance to review
this app. I am not able to turn on my smart-phone, it is now a piece
of fused plastic, glass, metal and strawberry jam. I cannot even find
the off/on switch.
The stove top application seemed to
work well enough, although I could not see any advantage of using the
smart-phone. I had hoped for better results using the microwave, but
apparently I had a defective microwave. Step one seemed to start
smoothly with pretty blue and pink fireworks. The insurance adjuster
has written off the microwave as a total loss. Repairs on the kitchen
may be completed by the end of the month, that is if I leave the strawberry
jam embedded in the ceiling.
I do not feel it would be fair to
the developers to give less than 4 stars, since they are kind enough
to pay me $52.00 for each review.
