Remember when you last paid for an app and regretted throwing those 99 cents down the toilet almost immediately after?
Well, here’s an entire list of those apps.
Some are so bad they even evoke feelings of regret despite being free.
1. Blower
When’s the last time you wished an iOS update would turn your iPhone into an air blower? Oh, never? That sounds about right. This literal waste of air will never serve a purpose.
2. Taxi Hold ‘Em
We’ll be damned if holding a flashing taxi sign hails you a cab quicker than our flailing arms.
3. Airport Sounds
It’s no secret that most things at the airport are awful. If you happen to be among the huge minority who want to wake up to the soothing sound of a Boeing 747 cockpit or prefer airport security announcements as your ringtone, this app’s the one for you.
4. Cry Translator
$5 gets you an inaccurate interpretation of what your baby’s crying about. Hit the download button to multiply a tantrum’s level of annoyance.
5. QuietCandle
The price of downloading this app can fetch you a real candle, which will undoubtedly create more calm than a screen-generated flame. Reducing the likelihood of a house fire may be this creation’s one saving grace.
6. Yo
This app was fittingly launched on April Fools Day and has only one function: to send your friends a “yo” text and audio message. Simple enough, nothing to hate on – until you realize it reached a $10-million valuation this summer. We’re currently developing an app called SMH.
7. Will You Marry Me?
A quick, free way to guarantee he or she says no. Is this really where we’ve arrived as a society?
Honourable mention: I Am Rich
Sadly no longer available to download, this app’s sole purpose was to let others know you have money – or have no absolutely no idea how to spend it – by displaying a red gem on your screen. It cost $1000 to download, netting the developer $6000 by the time it was banned. Rumour has it a slightly revised version of the app called ‘I Am a Douche’ is pending approval.
