Hey, Apple: How About Some iPhone Apps for Divorced Gals!

Hey, Apple: How About Some iPhone Apps for Divorced Gals!

I am an iPhone groupie, in love with the new iPhone applications ("apps" as they call them). I am searching for a software genius who could help me create some specific new apps to assist us divorced gals with our unique lifestyle needs.

For example, there’s a new application called the TravelTracker which stores information about your flight, hotel reservation, and car rental in one place, and can also track and categorize expenses as you go.

For us divorced gals, I would like to see the HunkTracker for when you spot a good looking guy on the highway. It would allow you to track his license plate to motor vehicles and find out if he's single before you run him off the road.

Another new iPhone app is the Global Wi-Fi Finder, which uses GPS to find nearby public Wi-Fi internet connection hot spots. For the divorced gal traveling solo, I’d like to see the Global WeeWee Finder to locate safe and clean ladies' rooms. And there should be an advanced search for ones with toilet paper that actually comes off the roll without you having to use a swiss army knife.

Here are some other iPhone Apps I’d love to see for Divorced Gals:

• FlirtLingo: 300 catchy phrases in 11 languages to use when trying to figure out what to say when you meet an attractive man. Come to think of it, they should make one for men, too, so we don’t have to hear the same old pick-up lines over and over.

• ExCall: When you just don’t have the energy to get into it all again with your ex, this handy app returns calls to him with a pre-recorded message asking where the child support is. 

• Appetite-Alter: This application launches automatically if you enter any fast food restaurant, displaying a picture of you in your 20's in a bathing suit. I just dare you to order 20 chicken nuggets after seeing that.  

• TwitterSitter: A database of 17,000 babysitters with an emergency lojack locater for when yours cancels.

• DropSpot: Suggests neutral, mid-point locations for you and your ex to exchange the kids.  

• ThreaTen:  When your kids are driving you crazy in the car, and counting to ten fails to stop the madness, this app automatically places calls to your kids’ cell phones (which you know they are holding in the back seat) with a pre-recorded intimidating call from the local police department.

• Meno-Pause: for when you get a sudden hot flash on a hot date. Launching the Meno-Pause app pauses uncontrollable sweating, sudden moodiness, and palpitations for 1 minute, giving you just enough time to escape to the bathroom and recuperate in safety.

• Backtracker: Perfect for the overwhelmed and overworked divorced gal. This “what the heck was I just thinking?” application replays the last few minutes of what was in your head out loud. Whew.

Attitude is everything!
