Exclamation iPhone CrApp List

This is a list of apps that I have downloaded to review, but for whatever reason I have declined to do a full review of them. Reasons can include (but are not limited to):
  • too buggy
  • too slow/time consuming
  • pointless app
  • false advertising
  • to complicated
  • user interface doesn't work

Basically, it is just a list of apps that if I reviewed them, they probably would get at most two stars. Keep in mind this is subjective - it is my opinion. Others may like one of these apps for some reason.

If you see an app on this list that you want to have reviewed, just drop me a PM and I will try to do it. If you have apps that you would consider CrApp, feel free to post. Try to limit them to apps that are really the low of the low - don't just include an app because you didn't like the game or something.

I will list the app, the price (when I post it), and a one phrase reason why it is on the list.

Chris

Lil John app gets the CrApp list for me. Downloaded it to make some friends laugh with "YEAH!" "WHAT!" "OKAY!" and it almost never produces any actual sound. FAIL!

Tazer - listed as a "safety device" (hopefully in jest) but all it does it buzz.

75% might be on the low side...I'm going with 95%!

I agree that many of the apps are useless and a waste of disk space, but it all depends on what you are using the phone for. Working in the retail store, I have seen people buy the phone simply because of the lightsaber app. Young teenage girls usually have about four pages of apps that I have never heard of. The great thing about the app store is that there is something for everybody.
