The Best Reckless, Idiotic Smartphone App

The Best Reckless, Idiotic Smartphone App

So there’s this app called Send Me to Heaven that’s available only Android (hmm). The idea is simple: the app tracks how high you can throw your phone.

You install the app (on your android, obviously). You then throw your phone as high as you can. Go on, throw it. Catching the phone is entirely optional, of course, but if you’re anything like me, your phone is carrying all kinds of incriminating evidence, so if it breaks, you’re in the clear.

And that’s it. Well, there’s more to it than that: what the app actually does is register how high it’s been thrown, then it uploads that height to a leaderboard. Effectively, it turns throwing your phone into a sport akin to Russian Roulette; do you want to be the best? Then you should risk your expensive phone to do so.

Totally dumb, reckless, stupid and awesome. I’d say give it a shot, but I’m not going to be responsible for a faulty catch. So, here’s a video showing someone else putting their phone on the line:

That video would have been much more interesting if the phone went kablooey.
