The Dumbest Smartphone Apps

Let’s face it, just because the phone is brilliant doesn’t mean all the apps for it are. There are more than 150,000 apps for the iPhone alone, and new app stores seem to pop up every few weeks. Google opened its own app store earlier this month and Verizon is launching one this week. With all of the apps floating around, there’s bound to be some terrible ones. Here’s our roundup of the most useless and frustrating apps available on smartphones. Some of the ones on this list have since been discontinued, but many are still available. So here’s our word of warning: never pay money for any of these and only download them for free if you take pleasure in deleting stuff off your phone. Photo Credit: Bart Claeys
