Knock on glass, I mean wood

Knock on glass, I mean wood

If you’re ridiculously superstitious you might actually like this “app”. Notice that I put “app” in quotations… it’s only an iPhone app in the sense that you can download it from the iTunes App Store and put it on your iPhone! Oh yeah, and it was also one of the first apps available when it was released nearly a year ago on July 27th, 2008.

When you launch Knock on Wood, you see a photo of a piece of wood. Tap the wood and you get a nice knocking sound, kind of like you just knocked on wood in order to double-jinx whatever stupid jinxy thing you just said, ie: “gee I hope I don’t get mowed down by a bus today.”

The only reason I’m writing about this hilariously stupid “app” is that a newspaper reporter asked me if I could help her round up some opinions on this and several other oddball App Store entries. If you’re game, please try it out and post your thoughts in the comment box! Who knows, you might even get quoted in the article. Come on you fame whores, you know you want to!

    Hi Michael,

    Just wanted to thank you for getting the direct itunes links up. It is definitely more convenient, although it does “bite” that you cannot be a part of the affiliate program. Sites like yours only help to promote Apple and its developers… you just got to shake your head sometimes.

    You and T.J., keep up the great work!

    I think this app was created with one single purpose in mind, to be one of the first in the app store. It says a lot that even though it was one of the first in, it has never been updated. There are plenty of apps out there that show continued effort by their creators to improve and refine their work. One example is Movies (formerly MyMovies) by Netwalk. When I first reviewed it there were numerous problems, but through continued updates and bug fixes it has turned into a handy app.

    there’s a new iphone app like this that you do have to pay for, but quality and ease is way better than this… check out ‘Knock’ in Lifestyle
