Useless Apps that Drive You Up the Wall

When discussing apps (specifically mobile apps), the talk would often lead to the best and most effective ones available to be downloaded. There are rarely talks on the worst apps you can have on your phone. Singling the fact that there are more than 1,300,00 apps on the iOS AppStore and with an almost same amount in Google Play Store, you would be surprised to know that most of them would simply drive you up the wall. Let's take a look at the worst apps you can ever download and with assurance, you'll delete them right after.

Personal Assistants
I Am Important
With the rise of mobile apps and their virtual freedom to dive into whatever the human mind can think of, now everyone can have a personal assistant. Well, a virtual one per say. I Am Important looks like your common virtual personal assistant that allows you to plan and schedule important events and set reminders, along with a contact list of important people but taking a closer look at the app and you'll see that it's a sad parody.

What entails one from actually even considering to download this app and actually keeping it in their phones is quite appalling since all you need is an iPhone/iPod and a deep sense of crippling loneliness. The app acts as a professional diary that makes you look like a VIP. Its features include "making you look busy with important people for important events" and "asking you about your day and what happened that day, when you feel like nobody cares"—well, at least that's what the description of the app says. Though it's a free app to download, it comes with its fair share of ads and what better way to get rid of ads than showering the makers of apps with your hard-earned money? The I Am Important app has 3 levels of pricings with are aptly named "Kind of Important", "Medium Important", and "Head of State/CEO Important"—which loosely translates to "no ads", "no ads and a background change", and "no ads and a moving background".
Even if you are bored out of your mind, this app wouldn't allow any excitement whatsoever—well, unless you're a narcissist.

Time-Wasters
Miley Cyrus Game Puzzle
How can a list of apps, regardless of its positive or negative nature, be without time-wasters or in another more acceptable term, games? Mobile gaming rose steadily throughout the years spanning all ages—from kids to adults even to the old folks. Upon the thousands of apps available to download and purchase, you'd be kidding yourself if you've never found a bad gaming app that you immediately uninstall. From bad rip-offs to games that we incredibly bad in design and gameplay, you'd sure be driven up a wall after the first few minutes of bad mobile games. Games should be fun but it's not the case for a game like "Miley Cyrus Game Puzzle". By the name alone should send electrifying shivers down any mobile user.

The objective of this game is to move puzzle pieces around to form one of the pictures of Miley Cyrus. With a very crude interface, outdated pictures, and no fun factor, it's a big NO to download. Stay away.

The One-of-a-Kinds
iFrenchKiss
Now for the truly annoying and useless apps. When it comes to the point that an app is relatively useless and garbles up your attention for the sake of entertainment or usefulness, it's literally garbage. Remember those times you practiced kissing by kissing your hand or a wall? Well, the iFrenchKiss app lets you do exactly that—with the addition of a rating system! Yes, you read that right; you get to practice your French kisses by kissing your phone and it rates you on a scale of 0-100.

Being addicted to your phone is one thing but kissing it is a little bit too much. Besides, it'd be entirely unhygienic. You're better off kissing a wall or your own hand!

Pet Baby
Ever wondered what it would look like if you combine your little bundle of happiness and your other little bundle of happiness? Talking about babies and pets is one thing but making an app that amazingly enables you to combine the faces of your pet with a template (and hollowed-at-the-face) picture is strictly unnerving.

Being a parent or taking care of a pet is a big responsibility. However, if you ever download this and enjoy putting pictures of your poor pets onto a baby's face, then you can be considered irresponsible—to your own sanity.

Will you marry me?
One of the awful beasts to ever contaminate the app lists in Google Play Store, the Will you marry me? app serves one purpose; to ask your beloved one's hand in marriage.

While the animation when you flip open the virtual box to reveal the ring is commendable, you have got to question the reason why there is a shopping cart icon in the middle of the answering options. But a more pressing matter of this ridiculously bad app is how much of a cheapskate do you have to be to let an app do a proposal for you? To add salt to the wound; pressing Yes entails a very cheesy ostentation and if you press No, the button would jump around the screen, disabling you from actually selecting it. Funny but not THAT funny.

If any of these drove you up the wall, you can choose to stay there and become Spiderman. By then, you wouldn't have to worry for more obnoxious apps in the future because you'll worry about Aunt May and The Green Goblin and making sure you get paid for the pictures of yourself you send to the Daily Bugle. But in all seriousness, the abundance of apps that are available to download should show that we, as a technologically-thriving species, are creative and only think of helping others go about their mobile lives in a smoother and easier fashion. Perhaps by staying away from apps like these (especially ones that make you kiss you phone or reveal yourself as a low-life cheapskate), you can help the mobile-dependent society stay true to the benefits of technology. So, Angry Birds anyone?
