The contraceptive app Natural Cycles, which tracks your fertility cycle and tells you what days you don’t need protection, has been hit with a complaint after 37 women in Sweden reported unwanted pregnancies due to using the app.
How much is too much to pay for an exclusive inside look at Lindsay Lohan’s life? $10? Yes, definitely. $7? Hm, that’s a magazine, a candy bar and a seltzer—three things that will bring you more pleasure in the long run. What about $2.99? Seems reasonable enough, but it turns out no one was really all that interested.
Nicki Minaj’s new app seems to pick up where Freestyle Fridays left off: rather than just allowing players to get dressed up and amass social points like the phenomenally popular games from Kim Kardashian and Kendall & Kylie Jenner, Minaj’s The Empire lets users record their own raps into it and potentially go viral.…
Of the many things I find absurd about the Catholic Church, my alma mater, one of the most unfathomable is that they expect us to go into a dark, usually too-hot booth with an adult dude we don’t even know and tell him everything we’ve done wrong. Confession is a little bit like therapy, but without the benefit of…
We all like to make fun of Goop, but we’re the ones talking about it while Gwyneth Paltrow is wiping her ass with a $275 roll of toilet paper. Yes, please, mentor me, milady.
We’ve established that neither Auschwitz nor the Holocaust Museum are appropriate places to seek out Pokémon. Now we need to attend to another issue provoked by the new and phenomenally popular game Pokémon GO: illegal border crossing.
Britney Jean Spears released her new Kim Kardashian: Hollywood-like mobile game this week, entitled Britney Spears: American Dream. Though I have not yet downloaded it, I can see myself playing for 20-30 minutes before ultimately forgetting that it’s on my phone.
The hot new trend among celebrities in and around Kim Kardashian’s orbit is developing custom emoji keyboards for smartphones. By “trend,” of course, I mean “three famous people have done this recently,” and those people are Kim Kardashian, Amber Rose, and Angela “Blac Chyna” Kardashian.
Texting/sexting, direct messages, Twitter, Instagram DMs and online dating aren’t enough when it comes to getting to know a person. What a healthy relationship really needs is a lot less... how do you say... talking. If the human race is to survive, there needs to be a severe reduction in our level of interaction with…
Truth: Some people are hot, some people are not, and male pilots and female physical therapists get the most action on Tinder. The speed-lust app with a penchant for instant aesthetic judgments released the top-most swiped professions for men and women, and the results prove that, when paired with an intriguing photo,…
In the same week that I deleted my Kim Kardashian Hollywood app from my phone (after reaching the A list, I got bored), ironically, here comes news that innovator Taylor Swift is developing a mobile game with Glu Mobile, the same company behind Kim’s app.
There are dating apps for every fetish and even one that matches people to potential pets, but what about an app that helps women make new female friends? Finally, there is one, and it’s called Hey! VINA. It works similarly to Tinder, but instead of sexy hookups, it connects new female friends with each other through…
Kourtney Kardashian’s new app is a disappointing subscription-based destination for content whose impossible goal is making your life a little more like Kourt’s. But among the boring recipes, makeup tutorials, and curated buying guides, there is an occasional treat. This week, it came in the form of a how-to video in…
Spotify is considering letting a handful of artists release new music to paying subscribers only. According to the Wall Street Journal, the streaming service is reversing course on its business plan because major stars, like Taylor Swift, are unhappy with the company’s current policy that all music must be released to…
“Hey guys, welcome to my app,” says Kourtney Kardashian after you open Kourtney, her new app, for the first time. It’s the same endearing, though spiritless, voice we recognize from Keeping Up With the Kardashians—the one that makes it sound like she has no interest in a single thing she’s saying because there are…
One might argue that Thanksgiving—a notorious day of gluttony—would not be the ideal time for Weight Watchers to initiate an application upgrade. But upgrade they did, and as a result, the app has been almost impossible to use ever since.
First there was a Tinder for dog lovers, and now there’s a site that matches people to adoptable dogs, based on the user’s personality.
Julia Cordray, one of the founders of Peeple, the ill-fated “Yelp for people” app that would allow human beings to leave negative reviews for other human beings, is unfortunately and hilariously very bad at taking criticism herself.
Last week, to a resounding cry of “Why the hell would you ever do this?”, a Canadian startup announced it is building a “Yelp for people” called Peeple. In a petulant essay on LinkedIn, the app’s co-creator says the universally negative reaction to Peeple is proof the world needs it. Somehow.
