Apps are bloody great aren’t they? That’s a rhetorical question, but there’s probably an app available at the moment which will give you the opportunity to find out. Everyone’s making them, and everyone’s using them, as is the general nature of a marketplace. Even I use them. So, without further “app-due” here is a list of my personal top four bestest apps available right now for you to download onto a screen and play around with to avoid social interactions.

#1 – “Virtual Immersion Heater On Your Phone Screen!”
From the people who brought you “Virtual Cigarette Lighter On Your Phone Screen!” comes this “Virtual Immersion Heater On Your Phone Screen!” which displays the image of a virtual immersion heater on your phone’s screen. The virtual immersion heater looks so realistic, don’t be surprised if you actually forget that you’re holding your phone. We had great fun with it, propping a phone up in the office boiler cupboard and calling the local plumber around to fix our “broken” heater.
APP COST: 79p PLUMBER CALL OUT: £48

#2 – “Double Headed Coin Flipper”
Be like “Two-Faces” from the popular but silly children’s Saturday morning serial “Bat-Man” with this ingenious virtual coin flipper. Unlike virtual coin flipping programs before it, “Double Headed Coin Flipper” uses special “Double Headed Coin based technology” to systematically deliver “heads” every time. Never lose a bet again, unless of course the bet is to flip a coin and get “Tails” in which case, the developers also offer “Double Tails Coin Flipper” on the App Marketplace.

#3 – “Tycoon Game Development Tycoon Game”
Tycoon games are great, but we’ve been getting pretty sick of building airports, hospitals and theme parks lately, so luckily for us, indie game developers “Ty-kuna Matata” have brought out “Tycoon Game Development Tycoon Game” a game which allows the player to experience first hand exactly what it’s like to build up a team of virtual game developers and plan out, organise and develop a tycoon based game development game. After you’ve built up your humble offices with aspirational staff, take on a first person perspective to walk around the grey work cubicles, or just hang out in the cafeteria until the virtual work day is over.
APP COST: £1.49p

#4 – “Be Kind To A Kitty”
This game, developed by students of one of London’s biggest Veterinary Schools came out last year, and ever since has been helping to simultaneously put terminally ill animals to sleep, and practically curb the dark desires of possible future serial killers alike. The game centres around a cute interactive animation of a fluffy kitten, which the player can stroke, feed and ultimately administer deadly quantities of heart stopping poison to. Using your phone’s internet connection, whenever a virtual injection is made to your virtual kitty, a real injection at the London based Veterinary School is administered to a real kitty in their lab, taking away it’s pain forever. We’ve been having a right laugh with this one for weeks.
