EOC 4 Theres An APP for That???

Honestly Theres an App for EVERYTHING! If your in the application business and you think you've come up with something completely innovative and crazy chances are you haven't. Theres just so many put there. Which brings me to the topic of this day. THere are just some apps that are just to damn stupid to even believe that they are truly legitimate. For example take this app its supposed to help people stop smoking and is supposedly useful in restaurants movies and any place where smoking is prohibited. Its called the "Fake Smoker app" what it does is put a picture of a lit cigarette on your screen. Thats it. A LIT CIG ON YOUR SCREEN! And thats supposed to help people stop smoking? If anything I believe that staring at a lit cigarette for a smoker would do nothing other then make them fiend even more for a real non digital smoke. Completely useless app honestly believe it was created by a major cig company to hypnotize its customers. But honestly the dumbest app i think is for those who love office work so much that they want to take the feeling with them everywhere they go. Its called the "SimStapler". Which does exactly what the name entails....simulates you stapling digitally. I mean seriously? There's an app for THAT??? Weak, but i just believe there's just a lot of people with technical capabilities that have a lotta time on there hands but not enough good ideas to properly use them. For all you app makers out there if your gonna do something make it useful and charge em a dollar to enjoy it.

BOC 4 Phone Applications that haven't been made yet

Apps? Haha seem to almost be a necessity rather then just a playful commodity these days. There are thousands of apps popping up every day for almost anything and everything. But it I had the opportunity to create and manufacture my own cell app what would they be? Well i Have few ideas. My first app would be useful to all of those who care about there personal appearance hygene and need feedback on those certain aspects. I'd call it the "Mirror Mirror on the call APP". This app would let you take a picture of yourself through your phone and then it'll rank your appearance smell cleanliness and fashion sense. Completely on those stressful day when your trying to get freshened up before a party,date or job interviews. My second app would be of great importance to college students who struggle to scrape up enough money to get college textbooks. It'd be called the "Textbook Priceline's Price Find APP" It'd be an application where students could use to find cheap used or new books for college students by college students. Kinda like a craigs list for textbooks where you search for books by area location price and even school and make bids to get your chosen textbook. My third app would be helpful for those who like to go out and eat but are turned off by fast food joints my app would be called the "Is it really safe to eat there? APP". Its properties would be to rate unknown or known non mainstream food places. Allow others to rate all aspects food type qualities and daily specials location annnnd phone number. The food places themselves would put in there own basic info but the customers themselves would do the rating. Those would be my three innovating ideas that would change the application world and put the big dogs in there kennel. What would you create?
