Useless apps on Google Play

Postby mrki444 » 19 Jun 2020, 17:28

I know people become in general more stupid but everybody have some computer science class about some basics so they should know what is RAM or powerbank as external source of energy.

But still people don't disappoint me and proof how we become in general more stupid.

Here is one download more RAM app. I mean download more RAM??? Plus in name there is word prank. It has 10k+ installs.

Appstore banned this right away. if you installed this app, You will have a picture of a gem and you can gloat it to your friends that you purchased this thousand dollar app. The appstore banned it but 8 people purchased it before the ban.

But the reviews don't seem bad. Does that mean that the people who downloaded them were at the very least satisfied with what they got out of them? As for the 'electric shaver prank' one, what exactly did these people expect to get from it, how exactly would it work?! :lol:

Do you know what actually happens if you download and install that app? Does it show some kind of statement that your device now has lots of RAM?

What I read from comments it just spends traffic while downloading, nothing else. I will not test it.

How gullible...or rather foolish some people can be! probably those who bought this app are filthy rich, who have no idea as to how they can spend their money. I don't think any sane person can be conned in this way. As you have rightly mentioned, those who bought it were probably rich, spoiled brat who just wanted to gloat their prized possesion.

Often those people didn't earn money, just inherit it, so they spend it on stupid things.

Here is one from app store, in case you have Iphone but don't have w(W)indows.

Oh my! Pardon their ignorance.

These apps are worse than the third party 'Battery saver/optimizer!" that consumers more battery power to monitor and control other apps.

But I guess... at least 10L people don't understand what a RAM is and 50K doesn't understand how power works...

Again, pardon their ignorance. :D

Perhaps this is for people who are living in a high-density residential complex that doesn't have any windows in their units. Or maybe for the blind? (No offense to the PWDs)

I think these reviews are actually sarcastic comments and trolls who don't have life.

I think some people just download these apps for lame fun. I can't believe that people are so stupid that they cannot understand that these are useless.

Maybe but we can often see people do very dangerous and stupid stuff and we ask same question. So I think some people just don't know it is prank, even it contains word in some titles.

As I can I see they are playabale in some way. :D

For me worst is how people download it and play. They have thousands of downloads and for sure it brings them some money, probably more than we earn here.

Google play provides almost all types of apps and most of the apps we check is present in it but there are some apps that are just a modified or improvised versions,,but the original is the best.
