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)
Peep Show-Sexy Slots
This one is a double-whammy. Besides being a pretty sad, sexist app for people so pathetic that they need to look at scantily clad women on their iPhone and pay 99 cents for it, it’s the category of this app that really irks me. Most of the ridiculous apps out there are at least classified as “Entertainment”. True, they make it hard for anyone to find the apps in that category that may actually entertain, but they at least call them as they see them. Peep Show calls itself a game and is placed in the game category. It’s called a game because in order to “play” (the quotes are the developers, not mine), you have to shake the iPhone or iPod Touch to get your quarter in the slot so that more of the woman can be revealed. WTF?!

iControl Her
Pssst, want a quick way to lose your iPhone? Check this out. Next time your girlfriend is angry because you don’t pay enough attention to her or is hurt because you stayed out late the night before and is trying to express how she feels, whip out the old iPhone or iPod Touch, start the iControl Her app, point the device at her, then laugh. Go ahead. See what a high heel can do to a device worth hundreds of dollars. I love how the description says it “Feels like and operate just like a remote”. You know, except that it feels like an iPhone or iPod Touch and it doesn’t really operate like a remote. And this one is not classified as entertainment either. Nope, this is a lifestyle app, as in it is part of your lifestyle to pay two bucks for something this stupid.

iLeprosy
Just when you thought there was nothing left to put a lowercase “i” in front of, along comes iLeprosy. In order to miss work or school you choose from twenty disgusting images to mar your face then send the picture to your boss. Yup, that’s going to work.
Dear Boss, I won’t be in today because I have leprosy. Check out the attached picture for proof. I’ll see you tomorrow when I’m sure I’ll be ready to wait tables again.
Signed,
An Idiot
And you only coughed up 99 cents for it.

Apgar Score
There are some pretty good iPhone and iPod Touch apps for medical professionals out there. And then there are some that make me wonder if they would ever be used. I mean, take something like calculating an Apgar Score for a newborn. Apgar is an assessment on a newborn baby based on appearance, pulse, grimace, activity, and respiration. I’m not sure if a medical professional, used to calculating this routine assessment would bother pulling out the iPhone to do it. I doubt it. But it’s more the app’s description that makes me wonder WTF. First of all it says that the app “eliminates all the guess work”. Let’s hope there’s no guessing going on when assessing the condition of a newborn. Then the app kindly tells us to “Remember that the Apgar score is a method for evaluating the general condition of an infant at birth.” which I’m hoping anyone trusted with creating an Apgar score would already know.

SnoopDogg
I often wonder what would Snoop Dogg say about something? And when I do, I don’t want to have to use my iPhone to google Snoop Dog quotes to find something profound like “Britney would make a better prostitute than Christina. She’s thicker.” Nope, I want an app dedicated to such pearls of wisdom and I want to pay $4.99 for it. Ah, I know I’m hatin’ on this. Maybe I shouldn’t. What would Snoop say? “We want people who hate to lose, like myself. Now marinate on that.” You said, it, Snoop, you said it.
