There are lots of pretty useless, tasteless, or crappy apps out there for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Some are free and some you have to fork out money for. Either way, these are apps that make us ask WTF? (All app links are to the iTunes App Store)

Farthoven
I could do a WTF fart app of the week here but some stand out. Farthoven is actually a bit of a different one but why someone would want to pay $1.99 to play Happy Birthday that sounds likev diarrhea is beyond me. If you do, Farthoven is your app.

(Note by Apps Editor: After the iPhone/iPod Touch editor submitted this post to me, I discovered that there is a Farthoven lite version which is free and has less songs and recording abilities than the paid version. I still agree with the WTF but at least you can try it out for free.)
 

Awesome Ball
Bounce a ball in a box. This is a free app but this falls in the time is more valuable than money category as in you’ll be wasting yours to download this app.

AntiSnore - The Snore Killer
I know it’s just week three of our WTF apps of the week but this one is the champ as the one that made me scratch my head the most so far. Actually, it kinda scared me and I’ll tell you why. Don’t get me wrong, an anti-snoring device is a good thing in my books since I snore myself. So I was intrigued when I saw this 99-cent app. It’s a smart use of the accelerometer but the devil is in the details and the details of this one include that to use it you should strap your iPhone to your arm or leg! While you sleep!  The idea is that once you snore loud enough, at a level you have set in the app, the iPhone will vibrate and wake you. I see two problems: first, if I’m snoring, that means I’m having a good old sleep and no vibration will wake me up. Second, I have to strap my expensive iPhone to my arm or my leg while I am sleeping, where I routinely roll onto my leg or lie on my arm. I’ll be honest, I didn’t try doing this as I don’t want to break my iPhone. Personally, since the app does a nice job of recording snoring sounds while you sleep and provides detailed graphs and a database of sessions you’ve recorded, I think they should repackage this as a Snore Studier or Snore Recorder you can put on your bedside table or headboard and avoid the idea of someone sleeping with their iPhone stuck to their leg with gauze wrap. As a “snore killer” I say WTF?!

iStud: Ultimate Stud Finder
Maybe I’m just in a good mood this week and feel the need to help but I’m going to give some more unsolicited advice, this time to the developers of iStud, and suggest they rename this app the AntiStud. Let’s face it, any dweeb who tries to impress a girl by pretending to use this device to find a stud in a wall, then actually lets it discover that he is the stud it finds, probably is actually not a stud. They do warn you about that by telling you it’s not an actual stud finder. But hey, at 99 cents, you can test my theory out yourself, but you should probably question the sanity of any girl this impresses.

The Pee Factory
Really, they should just have a new category at the App Store called Bodily Functions (see, more free advice). Still, from time to time I might include one or two in this weekly roundup and this week it was Farthoven and now The Pee Factory. The first line in their own description is “NOW AVAILABLE after months of being banned from the App Store!!”. If that appeals to you or if you think you can make your friends think you’re peeing on their couch from the pretty weak sound coming from your iPhone or iPod Touch, then you deserve to pay 99 cents for this baby.
