Thoughts From a Clicker
By Tiny Ruisch
It’s that time of year again! Did you keep all of the New Year resolutions you made a year ago? Me neither. I think it’s because I haven’t been making the right resolutions. This year is going to be different. I’m going to keep all of my resolutions. How can I be so sure? It’s simple. I’m going to resolve only one thing.
You’ve heard the saying that there is an app for everything? I think it might be true. This year, I am resolving not to download and install any of the following Android applications.
1) Ghost Detector uses your device to scan for paranormal activity and alert you when ghosts are present. After you find a ghost, you can capture it with your camera.
2) PeeperPeeper is one of the most useless utilities I’ve seen. It takes a picture whenever you open a messaging application. This will supposedly give you proof that someone is reading your messages.
3) Fake Battery is supposed to help you not have to lend someone your phone. You can tell them “Sorry, my battery is low.”
4) Poop Log is the application you need if you want to keep track of important things like size, amount, color, frequency, etc. This is much more information than I need to know.
5) Flying Poo is a game where take the roll of a seagull and get to poo on people.
6) The Pointless Button is just pointless.
7) Nothing does nothing until it gets updated.
8) S.M.T.H. is a sports game. You simply throw your phone in the air as high as you can. The height is recorded, uploaded and compared with other players. The game comes with several warnings. My favorite is that the author is not liable for damage to your phone.
9) Idiot Squad is an application that seems to have a perfect name.
There you have it. Nine applications that I recommend you DO NOT install. They are all real programs available from the Google Play Store. I didn’t check if any of them are also on iTunes. I don’t know what amazes me more: the fact that someone writes these types of apps, or that other people actually download them.
