Battle Of The Boobs

 Title: Wobble & iJiggles
Category: Entertainment

update:  all download codes have been claimed – thank you

<yawn> Farts continue to make headlines in iPhone World. This time it’s a lawsuit –
Air-o-Matic is seeking $50,000 in damages from the former #1 app, iFart Mobile. </yawn> Rather than bore you with details (we’ll let TUAW or CNN do that – yeah, CNN, big news you know!), we’ll focus on real entertainment … BOOBIE-STYLE.

catfight01 So there’s trouble in Boobieland … mudslinging, trash talking, accusations flying. It’s Boob vs Boob … specifically Wobble vs iJiggles in some hysterical back-and-forth bantering. We previously covered both Wobble and iJiggles … but this time we present the “Battle Of The Boobs”. And since we live in a glass house – no judgments will be made – no stones will be thrown – no right, no wrong – no “if it doesn’t fit, you must acquit”. Just the facts – you determine the verdict.

Wobble vs iJiggles – the “Just The Facts” edition 

Jan 15: iJiggles hits the App Store
Jan 17: Wobble hits the App Store

Jan 18: Wobble (jonau65) leaves the following comment on eugene4023’s iJiggles YouTube video:

boobies-youtube-comment

Jan 30: Wobble changes name to Wobble-3D-Jiggles
Jan 30: iJiggles changes name to iJiggles-3D-Wobble (their response below)

ijiggles-3d-wobble

Jan 31: Wobble-3D-Jiggles changes name back to Wobble

Jan 31: Wobble emails iJiggles the following cease and desist request:

Remove Wobble from the “name” you are using for your application. You are infringing our trademark.
It would seem by your statement that “You have nothing to lose” that you are attempting to benefit from our large sales and marketing effort. Might I suggest that you do have something to lose?
As your name stands you are deliberately using our name to try to increase sales of your own and you will be liable for damages, to minimize such damage you must CEASE AND DESIST using the Wobble name immediately.
My IP lawyers will be writing to Apple, in addition please supply an address for service for your company to the email address above.

Jan 31: iJiggles emails Wobble the following response:

1. It is doubtful that you have already applied and received a Trademark for the name Wobble. Also, Wobble is a generic term and is probably not trademarkable. If I am wrong, send me a trademark number or an application number and I will be happy to change it.

2. At the time of the name change, your app is called “Wobble-3D-Jiggle” and not “Wobble”. Quite a bit different

3. By using the term “jiggle”, you are obviously attempting to benefit from our large sales and marketing effort.

4. I’ll leave it up to Apple to decide. Get my address from them.
Have a good day.

Jan 31: Wobble emails iJiggles the following response:

1. Have it your way.
2. If I was using the term iJiggle rather than just plain jiggle it might explain trying to confuse the market, we were merely experimenting with a longer name to catch the eye more in the appstore.
3. Bad experiment, for a number of reasons – it exposed us to other developers moving on the name “wobble” which is precisely what you have done changing your name – I wonder who would be tempted to take your “iJiggle” name? Maybe some reader of your blog???
4. OK, will do.
And yep, I feel like a dick for even bothering to engage with you, it’s not like your app is competitive really… It looks like a software guy did the graphics and it works like a graphics guy did the software. Did the UI guy come up with your company name?? 🙂

EDITORS NOTE – for clarification, the email exchanges were posted on the iJiggles blog, thus the following response from Wobble

Feb 1: Wobble emails iJiggles the following:

Heh, I don’t believe that you just published a comment from me that:
a. Points out the shortcomings of your application
b. Points out to anybody reading that there exists an opportunity to take your application name! I simply meant that as a warning to you against the problem with changing your software name… hence the reason I changed ours back! (oh and sales went down when I mentioned Jiggle)!
But I guess you are just a bit too slow to pick that up, and you insist on republishing my PM’s to your imaginary readers???
Let’s see if you are foolish enough to publish this too:
Dear search engine and readers of this blog, please index this link: Wobble is the best boob jiggling software available for the iPhone – follow this link to buy WOBBLE http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=301166113

Or maybe you’ll realise that you are giving me the opportunity to publish stuff on YOUR blog and take all of it down!! 😀 I even took the time to format your link. You are welcome.

Currently:
Wobble changes name to Wobble Her Bits 3D and again to Wobble-Bikini-Fun
iJiggles changes name to iJiggles Your Mom

And since Wobble is the #6 paid app and iJiggles is the #1 free app … well I guess all this “foreplay” has a happy ending. Now isn’t that nice!

wooble6ijiggles1

Free iJiggles and Wobble to KRAPPS viewers!
Originally, iJiggles was positioned as a limited time free app. However, since iJiggles has exploded to the #1 free app position, the developer has decided to forego a price increase, generate revenue with ads and leave iJiggles free indefinitely. YAHOO – download iJiggles!

Wobble was kind enough to provide codes which will allow KRAPPS viewers to download Wobble for FREE. Simply tweet the following message on Twitter and we’ll direct message you the download code while supplies last:

A Look At Ralph

all iVomit Mobile download codes have been claimed – thank you

Sorry folks … we have to go there. We’ve been trying to avoid this topic. It’s been keeping us up at night. We are not thrilled about it. But in the end, a decision was made … we cover all KRAPPS … so we have to go there … our apologies in advance.

toothlessone2 iPhone farts have been well documented. There are now well over 60 fart apps and with new varieties continuing to appear, I guess a lot of KRAPPS should be thankful and buy these farts a beer. After all, farts were the trendsetter, making it possible for other KRAPPS to weasel their way into the App Store.

So one good bodily noise (fart) app deserves another … but this time, let’s kick it up a notch and get even more disgusting, crude and vulgar … let’s give that measly rated PG-13 fart app some steroids and introduce a rated R super app … VOMIT!

Well gosh darn fiddlesticks … iPhone vomit hasn’t really caught on. While 60+ fart apps stink up the App Store, vomit lovers have only 5 ½ (more on that number later) dedicated apps to choose from. So let’s take a look at this group of class acts or as we like to call it,
A Look At Ralph …

First up is iVomit from noidentity. It’s a clever little app … simply drag food into the subject’s mouth – over and over again – until he eventually blows chunks all over your iPhone’s screen. Messy screen? No worries – just clean it up by swiping your finger across the chunder. A big thank you to the developers at noidentity … your contribution to the App Store is simply genius. You complete me!

iVomit Screen2      iVomit Screen

Next we have the sole free vomit app available, Pukey Pete. Clever name – descriptive icon  – average execution … but hey, you can’t argue with the price. Basically you just touch the screen and watch/listen to Pete puke into a toilet. Oh yeah, it counts how many times Pete pukes … NICE! The real beauty is how the app’s description reads (Mr. Vomit App Description Writer – we salute you)

pukeypetedescription

iPukeIcon Moving along we fine iPuke … you knew there had to be one … sadly still no iBarf, iHurl, or iHeave. iPuke’s marketing position is cute puke … an adorable blue cartoon ball that tosses its cookies when you touch it. OMG, sooo CUTE!

Ok, this is where it get’s tricky – pay close attention. Remember we said there are 5 ½ vomit apps? Well developer Khalid Shaikh has decided to corner the barf market by releasing 2 vomit apps … or is that 1 ½. Either way, that’s solid upchuck market share. iVomiting and iBurps are Khalid’s creations. I think Khalid might have been three sheets to the wind when creating these apps. First sign of being drunk – each app is priced at $4.99. Second sign of being drunk – iBurps’ description reads like a belching app and even contains the word “iVomit”. Check it out below – we’re sober and still confused – 5 ½ vomit apps or 6?

ivomitingiburps

iVomitMobile-Icon And finally, we saved the best for last. The original and king of vomit KRAPPS, presenting … iVomit Mobile. Founded on Jan. 7, 2009, iVomit Mobile was the first barf app to grace the iPhone and has become the #1 best-selling vomit app. OUTSTANDING! And who can dispute iVomit Mobile’s fame? With 20 different selections … including classics like “Heave & Hurl”, “Corn Chowder”, “Porcelain Puke” and “Layered Barfcake”… iVomit Mobile presents the most complete vomit soundtrack available to consumers. But the real brilliance of iVomit Mobile is its artistic presentation … this is a visual thing, so just enjoy the concluding screenshots below …

Free iVomit Mobile to KRAPPS viewers!
Happy – Happy … Joy – Joy … we’re giving away the King Of Vomit thanks to iVomit Mobile’s developer, Todd, at Magnificent Library. Just leave a comment below and we’ll email the code which will allow you to download iVomit Mobile for FREE. US iTunes store only. Good while supplies last.

Good App Gone Bad

Title: BobbleHead
Category: Entertainment

BobbleHeadDesc In June 2007, Rihanna released the “Good Girl Gone Bad” album which since has gone 2x  Platinum in the US. In October 2008, the JES Group released the BobbleHead app which is a relatively entertaining bobblehead application. Similar to Rihanna, on November 10, 2008, the JES Group released another app – Good App Gone Bad – with shocking similarities in functionality to their initial  BobbleHead release, with one glaring exception – sticker price = $14.99.

Either someone at JES or Apple was seriously drunk when inputting BobbleHeads’ price or JES is clearly one sandwich short of a picnic. I can only imagine the conversation which took place during the BobbleHead app strategy meeting:

“Guys, our BobbleHead app is kicking some serious ass. We have 40 App Store user reviews averaging 4 and a half stars – this is golden. Seriously guys, we are the Pandora Radio of BobbleHead apps! And get this … there are 6 bobblehead apps in the App Store – and we are #1 – we rock! Think about this, if we play our cards right, we could make millions of dollars, quit our day jobs and cruise MySpace all day for chicks. I swear, we are brilliant – chicks will dig us because we will have loads of money – we’ll be Superbad. Guys, call me crazy, but I say we raise Bobblehead’s price by 1,414% … hey, we might as well strike when the iron is hot. Raise it from 99 cents to $14.99. Brilliant – one thousand four hundred and fourteen percent! We have the #1 bobblehead app, we rock, we are brilliant, chicks will dig us … let’s do this!”

And now we conclude with commentary from real-life BobbleHead user “diehardyankeesfan”:

I Want It All

Title: iToilet
Category: Entertainment

update: all download codes have been claimed – thank you

As a prelude to our iToilet article, please enjoy this 45 second commercial for an actual iToilet. Well maybe not an “actual” iToilet, but with the amount of KRAPPS Apple is approving these days, I don’t see this as a far-fetched product line expansion in a few years.

 

Ahhh, doesn’t that sound nice? … The iToilet. Well in the meantime as we all eagerly await this next can’t miss product from Apple, developer Dennis Nederlof brings us the next best option … the iToilet app … and OH what an app it is! You thought iPhone farts were the shiz? You thought iPhone vomit was the pinnacle of awesomeness? You never thought an iPhone urine app would be approved? And of course, you never even fathomed the idea of a grunting/bowel movement app. Well my friends, KRAPPS is here to tell you this … your world is about to change … starting NOW!

For a mere 99 cents, iToilet will deliver every disgusting, gross, nasty and foul bodily function sound you could ever imagine … all wrapped up into one app. Agreed, the deal of the century! Just check out a few of iToilet’s features:

Nose Blower Sound? – yes, touch the “Blow Your Brains Out” button
Blowing Chunks Sound? – yes, touch the “Drank Too Much” button
Urine Sound? – yes, touch the “Like A Race Horse” button
Dropping The Kids Off At The Pool Grunting Sound? – yes, touch the “Pop A Blood Vessel” button
Grunting Farting Dropping The Kids Off Combo Sounds? – yes, touch the “Bean Burrito” button

iToilet-Screen-1     iToilet-Screen-2

Enough? Nah … there’s more:

Interactive Toilet Seat
Interactive Flusher
And when you’re done doing your business – a handy Plunger

And how about a little educational bone to top things off – over 20 fun filled toilet facts:

iToilet-Facts1    iToilet-Facts2

So there you have it … the amazing iToilet app. Seriously, ask yourself this question next time you’re about to hit the “Install” button … why settle for just a fart or vomit app when YOU CAN HAVE IT ALL!

Free iToilet app to KRAPPS viewers!
Developer Dennis Nederlof (MicroSECONDS Computer Consulting) was kind enough to provide KRAPPS with promo codes which will allow our viewers to download iToilet for FREE. Simply tweet the following message on Twitter:

The Wacky Ox

update: all download codes have been claimed – thank you

It’s been said before, the iPhone is a remarkable device. Heck, I barely even use the thing as a damn phone. And why should I, when the real purpose of the iPhone is making you a better person, while improving the quality of your life. $199 is a small price to pay when an iPhone and its 18,000+ apps can pretty much make everything in your life better:

Need to lose weight? – Got Apps For That! – (oink oink pig app)
Need to quit smoking? – Got Apps For That! – (lung age calculator app)
Need to relax? – Got Apps For That! – (attaining zen app)
Need to hail a cab? – Got Apps For That! – (taxi hold’em app)
Need to track your menstrual cycle? – Got Apps For That! – (iflow app)
Need to track your labor contractions? – Got Apps For That! – (birth buddy app)
Need to pee? – Got Apps For That! – (shy bladder app)

photo by FatoOoma Qatar~'s There is NOTHING the super iPhone can’t handle. Ok – maybe the above are just too easy … quit smoking, child birth, peeing … all a piece of cake. How about a tough one – a krappy marriage.

Need to save your marriage? – Got Apps For That!

Yup, we sure do! Thanks to Blue Ox Technologies and their Wacky Apps Collection (seriously, that’s what they named it – I think they did it on purpose to appear on KRAPPS), your iPhone is now a portable and cost effective marriage counselor. We’re talking the Marriage Saver For Men and Marriage Saver For Women apps (the Ox is smart … it’s that whole “men mars, women venus” thing). And the concept is so simple, yet brilliant … marriage sucks? … just push one of the app’s marital rescue phrases and the app does the talking – BOOM! – happy marriage once again. I mean just look at the phrases below – who can resist? – I’m already feeling that “you had me at hello” vibe all over again!

Marriage Saver For Men     Marriage Saver For Women

But like I said, the Ox is smart … saving marriages is a very noble thing, but why stop there?

Need to make friends? – Got Apps For That!
Need to advance your career? – Got Apps For That!

The Ox’s Yes Man (aka brown-noser, suck-up, kiss-ass or doormat) app and its amazing phrases will do the job.

Yes Man 
It’s a raging and crazy Ox! It won’t stop there – more help from the Ox.

Need to a back bone? – Got Apps For That!
Need some balls? – Got Apps For That!

The Ox’s Just Say No app and its incredible phrases will escalate your assertiveness while regaining your self-confidence. Wait a minute – kinda sounds like the Ox got lazy on this one and simply re-worked the Marriage Saver app.

Just Say No

Free apps to KRAPPS viewers!
The Ox was kind enough to provide KRAPPS with promo codes which will allow our viewers to download apps for free. Simply leave a comment below indicating which app you’d like (Marriage Saver Men, Marriage Saver Women, Yes Man or Just Say No) and whatever else you want to speak. 3 codes per app. US iTunes only. No shirt, no shoes – no dice.

History Was Made, Sort Of

Title: iPee and Shy Bladder
Category: Entertainment

Due to budget cuts and a skeleton crew here at KRAPPS, we typically run one article per day. Well for the first time in our history, we are breaking budget and calling in our writers to work overtime. Why? We’ll explain below …

Apple Portable Potty With the recent onslaught of total KRAPPS like farts, burps, vomit, flushing toilets and more … we secretly have a guilty desire of a URINE app. However, the KRAPPS staff is divided on the feasibility of this issue:

Yea-sayers: if Apple approved bodily functions like farts, burps and vomit, why not urine?
Nay-sayers: no way! urine is too crude and vulgar, even for Apple’s standards of late.

So last night, February 2, 2009, at approximately 10:14 PM, history was made … not one, but two urination apps were released: iPee and Shy Bladder. The nay-sayers were in total shock. The yea-sayers rejoiced like over zealous Steelers fans. We’re talking history!! … Apple stoops to a new low!! … Urine will change the world!!

But hold on … don’t judge an app by its cover. Upon further review, iPee and Shy Bladder are not exactly the bladder movement sound apps we were expecting … rather it’s a bladder movement assistance app. Huh??? Yes, you heard correctly … launch iPee or Shy Bladder and the app will assist in opening your “Stuck Door” wide open:

iPee-Screen

Shy-Bladder-Screen
So next time you experience public stage fright, you can now look like an even bigger IDIOT by whipping out your iPhone, setting it on top of the urinal, launching the iPee app with its blaring white water rapids simulation … all while you pee freely. So maybe history was not made, but iPee and Shy Bladder are certainly ground breaking in terms of lame.

Finding Zen

Title: iFlush Toilet
Category: Entertainment

update : all iFlush Toilet download codes have been claimed – thank you

What’s with iPhone farts these days? So popular … are they really that funny? Farts are certainly a hot topic here at KRAPPS … and we’ll admit, the subject is getting old. So let’s move on to bigger and better KRAPPS … like toilets? Yeah … TOILETS … toilets need love too and can be just as cool as those silly farts.

funny-toilet-1   funny-toilet-3   funny-toilet-2

Waht? No love for the toilet? Da shame! The folks over at iTech Development Systems beg to differ. They figured, what better way to “celebrate” the iFart than release its natural extension … the iFlush Toilet app. Now I know what you’re thinking … flushing toilet sound, YAWN! But you got it all wrong. You see, there is something magical and soothing about the sound of a flushing toilet. Forget Koi Pond, jump on the iFlush Toilet:

iFlush-Desc-Final 
Ahhhhh, relax … just what every Zen Garden needs … a toilet. But hold on, it gets better. You see, not only will you be able to reduce your stress level with iFlush … you’ll be able to flush away your problems. So what’s buggin’? … your ex? Rush Limbaugh? mimes? Paris Hilton? lolcats? Barney? … flush their pathetic image right down the krapper.

iFlush Screen 2    iFlush Screen 1

LOL … oh geez … be careful not to step in something when you walk through the App Store, it’s getting awfully crowded with KRAPPS.

Free iFlush Toilet app to KRAPPS viewers!
iTech Development Systems was kind enough to provide KRAPPS with promo codes which will allow our viewers to download iFlush Toilet for FREE. Simply fill in the rest of the message below and tweet on Twitter. Basically we’d like you to recommend a cool Twitter user you follow (similar to #followfriday) so we and others can check them out …

tweet this >>   Follow @KRAPPS for iPhone humor & @

We will then direct message you the download code while supplies last. Make sure you follow us on Twitter – @KRAPPS – so we can direct message you the code
