If it depresses you that people think that farting is funny, you should seek immediate help. Lighten up.

Awful Reviews? iFart has a 3 Star average, and most of the 1 Star reviews were people with sound issues on their phone.. Most of whom had their phone muted.

I have the app. I bought it out of boredom. I got a chuckle and so did my bf ....

says nothing about intelligence...it's just silly humor. This coming from a typically serious person, who is studying The Russian language and is an operatic vocalist.

Being offended by it seems even sillier than the app its self. If I knew how to write these apps, I would be kicking myself for not thinking of it haha!

Amazing, considering that iFart is getting AWFUL reviews from users. Also, intriguing, as our LittleWingman app is due out this month (http://www.LittleWingman.com) but is getting GREAT beta reviews! Go figure...

You mean you'd love your gov to save money without 'passing on the savings', so to speak. Which they all do. Oh my god, I'm whining, just like you are about tax. Oh dear, my 'seasonal emotions' are being destroyed!!

The only limitations I can think of are the ones Apple imposes. Not everything that gets submitted gets approved for the app store, some of the ones rejected were far more useful than a far app.

Its not surprising Apple users would love fart apps, we all know Apple users love to smell their own farts as well because they all feel so high and mighty because they use Macs ;)

This again makes me happy to say.... IM A PC!

"You are an idiot."

He didn't pay $1 to make an expensive piece of electronics fart... so my guess is YOU are the idiot.

Such as? As a developer I cant reallty find any limitations. Im sure they exist, but what are you talking about?

Re: iPhone fart app pulls in nearly $10,000 a day

Im a developer, and I hate this stuff because I dont like how it sets people expectations up. BUT, the market does what it does.

In honesty it takes up a tiny amount of memory. Have a look in itunes when the fone is plugged in and you'll see these apps take up a tiny amount of space.

But yeah, I dont really like the devaluation of the quality of apps and what it means for folks like me who want to spend a few months on an app only to have that market bracketed
by thousands of $1 or bust crap-apps making $10K each.

I think that while I agree it is depressing, it is expected that the application sells in a society that also has no problems paying for celebrity gossip, TV channel likes of MTV, VH1, etc. @Christina hits the nail on the head by stating that it is what people want. I just feel that if people have money to throw on shitty apps like this (no pun intended), especially at times like this when, if anything, people should be smart with their money, all you can deduce is that they have turned into the very trash they enjoy so much/

I think Joel Comm is brilliant for coming up with a fun app that people WANT!
for .99 who wouldn't buy this app.

Sell your customers what they want!

and my app has been siting in 'in review' limbo since November 4.

Are you like retarded? since the iPhone comes built in with a GPS you don't need a "GPS App" and there are already ways to stream video and music to your iPhone. Simplify Media is absolutely amazing and I wouldn't buy another phone just because of that app alone.

I can produce my own farts for free, without the aid of an iPhone.

you know why? because it is *awesome* - my younger son got an ipod touch this year and the ifart app was a perfect match for his "here's a buck for one stupid app" budget (he loves real apps like band)...

don't you get it? people love stupid applications...just look, here you are commenting on some blog posting on some site that some small audience reads - is that any more a waste of time than pressing a button to make a fart noise? at least with ifart, you can share the love with people around you, as opposed to any blog where your noise vanishes deeper into the ether with each new passing post (buried, never to be seen again, and so what ever did you type for?)
