Surely the AppStore has a bunch of apps that you can’t live without.. But there are also apps that are nothing short of stinkers. Among the hundreds of apps at the Appstore these are the apps you don’t want to have on your iPhone, except for a good laugh maybe..
Sure enough Apple accepted them into the store for being well coded but again who needs them. Come on Apple get some interesting apps on the board rather than these bad apples which spoil the party…
So here are the 10 iPhone Apps you don’t want to have…
I’m completely at loss to explain the need for this app. The developer describes it as “self-defense/emergency alarm with freefall detector”. Confused? Yeah me too… Its even got a cool looking graphic telling you what you are supposed to do.. Yeah right! Imagine this neat conversation that I’m having…
“Hey there Mr. Mugger, one sec let me whip out my iPhone real fast(you knew I had an iPhone right?) and…. ok, unlocked the screen, launched this app, and BEEP BEEP BEEP! HAHA take that! A beeping sound far more quiet than the sound of my own voice! What? You want the iPhone now in addition to my wallet? Weird”
Another gem of an app at the App Store.. All you gotta do is move the cow and watch it fly around with space… I guess the guy who wrote this genius was probably practicing how to write real apps for the App Store…
Don’t take this as just another app. The developer asks you this question “Why waste money on an expensive facelift when you can get your Crazy Mouth on! ” Basically its got a series of 10 animated mouths which you are supposed to select and put the iPhone up to your mouth and give the onlookers a good laugh..
Have a look at this demo.. Surely this is not the reason you brought your iPhone right?
Caught up in dark alley is it? Oh come on you can always use your iPhone as a flashlight can’t you? Pay 0.99$ for this cool little app and light up the dark streets.. Oh well there are other apps like Light that do the same thing for free. But paid apps are always better right?
Perhaps you would like to staple the Declaration of Independence to the Magna Carta? Or, your phone bill to the Book of Kells? With SimStapler and your imagination its “no problem”
Meh! Basically a tool you can use to teach your kids how to staple two sheets of paper..
All this really useful that costs 3$ does is bring you live search results from Google. I thought Google does it already.. Save those 3 bucks and fire up Safari and search Google..
Trust me it ain’t that hard..
Getting bored? Display whatever text you like on a cool looking LED Matrix display. Thank god its atleast free..
Seriously the whole point of this lovely little app seems to be holding that huge “Hold” button for as long as you can… Apparently it’s supposed to increase your productivity by increasing your concentration levels.
God gracious atleast this thing is free. You don’t want to pay a few bucks just to hold a button on your iPhone do you..
Tip: To get the highest possible score hold the button and walk along as though nothing happened..
Can’t think of a random number for your latest password? If you didn’t take math all that seriously when you were in school this app is made for you.. This super expensive application that costs you 10$( !! ) draws random numbers..
Also this cool little app gets my vote for the most horribly designed app in the App Store.. I wonder if the developer had ever seen an iPhone?
Need to take a quick decision? Fire up this lovely little app and hold the question in your mind.. Once you are done with that it will tell you a Yes or a No.. Use this for questions like..
Should I call him?
Should I go to bed?
Should I push this huge red button?
My suggestion is once you have got the answer you needed delete this app to save precious space on your iPhone..
There you go, 10 iPhone apps that you don’t want to have. I keep wondering what the developers of these apps had in mind while developing these gems.. Maybe they were thinking “I guess if you’ve dropped that much money on a phone that looks cool, I guess you could spend a bit more and get some useless programs for it.”
Found some more useful useless apps for the iPhone? Please share with us in the comments..

“But paid apps are always better right?”

Hey, I like Banner Free! It’s a great tool for when you want to send mixed messages, such as a smile to a person’s face, and your Banner reading “Fuck you” to them. It’s also good for silent messages during rides. Ya.
