Esteem Aid

OMG here we go again! Didn’t I just say in my previous post that utter uselessness is now trendy in the iPhone App Store?

Esteem Aid serves one purpose which is to heap praise on you. Launch the app and your iPhone serves up a very sincere compliment that could be anything from “You are a good person” to “You’re my hero” to “I wish I could be like you”. You can fish for more compliments by giving the iPhone a good shake.

I know it’s a joke, but I do have one legitimate complaint… the way compliments dissolve into each other doesn’t match the shaking motion. This is the sequence of events when you’re feeling down and need digital affirmation:

You are so sexy!

(shake iPhone)

(slow dissolve)

Your Cat wishes she could be like you.

Doesn’t that seem anticlimactic? Shouldn’t the next compliment in line come swooping in from nowhere, or at least fall into place with a good thump? Eh. Oh well. Maybe I’m just an idiot.

You are really smart.

Thanks Esteem Aid!
