"Pull My Finger", the controversial iPhone app that launched on December 12th has gone number two in the App Store among the Top 25 paid apps less than seven days after its triumphant release. The wildly popular Pull My Finger has easily surpassed a list of over 16 farting apps currently floundering in App Store limbo. Most developers would sell off a kidney to gain the kind of attention and free press Air-o-Matic has generated around its unique iPhone gas passer.
Pull My Finger which originally made headlines after being rejected by Apple, calling it a 'limited utility', recently became the first approved app of its kind unleashing an entirely new "genre" of NSFW applications. Certainly no one expected it to rocket upwards as the number two Top Paid app so quickly. The number one spot is now easily within view.
Pull My Finger has risen in spite of unfavorable reviews posted by some users early on. Which alone is a worthy accomplishment for a $.99 app. The common complaints from avid fart connoisseurs is that the sounds are unrealistic and that there's no timer for delaying the fart effect. The addition of a timer should be a no-brainer add on in future updates. As for the farting sounds... get over it!
One review summed up the legend of Pull My finger perfectly. "I signed the online petition and even sent Steve Jobs an email begging him to order his App Store goons to allow Air-o-Matic's masterpiece, and now that the Pro-Fart lobby has prevailed I can't help but feel a swelling sense of pride every time I rip one into my jeans"
"I guess Pull My Finger was always meant to be 'Number Two.' Sorry... couldn't resist." Air-o-matic
My feelings exactly!
