I’ve got to give the developers of this app props for their sheer chutzpah. There are a lot of apps that do nothing, but few that advertise that fact in such an obvious manner — and fewer still that have the audacity to ride the coattails of a massive teenage phenonemon to nothing-app glory.
Edward, I can't see your face. Is that because you have spurned me, or is it a clever copyright dodge?
The app does nothing other than tell you when the “New Moon” movie will be released. This information never changes: the release date has been the same ever since it was announced. Downloading this app is like replacing your calculator with a box that says “5 x 5 = 25.”
These developers are masters of marketing, I will give them that. They have made two versions of this app: one for Team Edward and one for Team Jacob. If you don’t know what that means, consider yourself lucky.
Let's be clear: you are not, in fact, buying Jacob.
To top it all off, this app is not free. They are charging $0.99 for it. That’s one dollar for what amounts to a sticky note with a date written on it. A date just six months away from the day this app was created. A date after which this app is pointless. A date that you have already memorized.
Gentlemen, I applaud you. I also await your “Transformers 3: Dinobots Edition” countdown.
