There are currently more than 50,000 iPhone apps. Although many of these are brilliant, it seems as though people are getting a little carried away. There is, for example, an app that dials 911 for you if doing so yourself is too much effort in an emergency (it would, in fact, take longer to open the app than to dial the number). Or if you’re off to Vegas, maybe you should consider buying Roulette Helper? Yes, it tells you which numbers to bet on. No, it does not improve your chances of winning. If gambling isn’t your thing, then maybe SimStapler? If, like Milton Waddams, you’re lamenting the loss of your favorite stapler, you can soothe your soul by listening to the sound it makes over…and over…and over again.
These apps are a little absurd, yes — but the genuinely useful ones make up for that. Celebrities are slowly catching on to the app craze, and Steve Aoki’s is one of the best (the pope’s is also worth a look!). On Aoki’s app, you can see what one of the world’s best DJs is up to, and listen to some of his finest mixes and original tracks while browsing through his tour dates. The app offers exclusive videos and photos, but the highlight is surely the fan wall. Aoki’s fans flood the wall with tales of each of his manic gigs the morning after — or simply apologize for attempting to rush the stage! Apple is right: There is, indeed, an app for just about anything. Aoki’s is one of the select few that will find its way onto my iPhone.
