Three 'Shaker' iPhone Apps That Still Remain

 

If you're pining over the sudden demise of the now infamous 'Baby Shaker' iPhone app, a game centered around killing off annoying babies with a vigorous shaking, all hope is not lost. Three key 'shaker' apps also approved by Apple still remain alive and well in the App Store and ready for download.

Though these three contenders still qualify as tacky on several levels, they're not as painfully distasteful as the now banished baby killer app that Apple publicly apologized for on April 23rd. The same day that Apple surpassed one billion apps downloaded from their wildly popular App Store.

Fart Shaker ($.99) is an app that does exactly what it promises, delivering 45 realistic sounding farts with each epic shake. Non stop fart looping is available on command along with fart tapping if shaking your device makes you paranoid of causing iPhone brain damage.

Bible Shaker ($.99) is billed as being "the quickest and easiest way to get Biblical passages". It's as simple as choosing a category then 'shaking' out a scripture instantly. I can't think of a more entertaining way to enjoy the Bible one shake at a time. For those who still use a traditional biblical unit and may get annoyed when turning those wafer thin pages, remember; never, ever shake a Bible.

Salt Shaker (free) is the final iPhone app submitted for your disapproval. This little polished turd is free for obvious reasons. Unlike pouring real salt all over your daily slop, this harmless app will not kill anyone. The developer promises, "If you love salt, you'll love salt shaker." I would be willing to argue that bogus claim in court. See how long you can endure this app before you run head on into traffic in total denial that it actually exists.

While this unique trio of shaker apps deserve to be counted amongst Apple's one billion downloaded, they will be celebrating, but standing furthest away from the party in the big house. I suggest you download all of these shakemeisters only because they're a vast improvement over killing babies as a timed sport. What part of shaking babies for fun seemed like a great idea for an app in the first place?

LOL ... great follow-up to the Baby Shaker incident.

Would like to throw in the mix and shaking app we featured ... Ringrr Roulette ... basically the opposite of those apps which prevent drunk dialing (like the Bad Decision Blocker app) ... no matter how smashed, bombed or shitfaced you are (to the point where you can't even dial your iPhone), simply shake your iPhone and Ringrr Roulette will dial a number for you.

LOL ... dead drunks? ... don't even go there ;)

I'd nominate UrbanSpoon as a shaking app with a useful and fun purpose. The only danger associated with UrbanSpoon is that you might actually like one of its recommendations and spend all of your money on a night of dining.

Of course, you risk running into a brain-dead waiter. But somehow, there are always enough of them.
