Another entry from the Totally Useless file… pour1out! This poorly executed (and poorly disguised) ploy to sell 40 oz. “cozies” to dress up your bottle of St. Ides is pretty funny in a bad, stereotypically ghetto way.
Pour1out lures you in with the promise of being able to pour a virtual 40 oz. bottle by tilting your iPhone to and fro. This concept has been done several times by several different apps but the thing that sets this one apart is that it’s incredibly bad at pouring.
Tilt your iPhone and watch the bottle of foamy yellow liquid tip slightly, ‘relieve itself’ of a pitifully small amount of its contents, and then suddenly fly out of frame only to appear again for an encore. Wow! So not worth the download.
If the sight of a clear bottle that looks like it’s just been used as a urinal is distasteful to you (elitist!), tap the info button and you can cover it with a themed cozy that looks like a bandana, a designer knockoff pattern, or the always-classy tuxedo tshirt. And, if you super-love that cozy, of course there’s a link to 40cozy’s website where they’ll gladly help you pimp out a real-life bottle in exchange for a few dollars and all of your self-respect.
Your last, and best, option is to just tell the app to find you a place (via iPhone’s GPS map) to get some real booze so you can get hammered and try to forget about the three minutes of your life you just flushed down the toilet by installing pour1out.

- You had me at objectionable!
-
- The title screen alone tells you this is going downhill fast
-
- At least you gotta love the sound effect which was obviously recorded in a bathroom
-
- Quick, get some booze before you waste more precious drinking time on this app
-
- Eh, do you really want this thing to know how to find you?
