BroApp: The Relationship Wingman for Bros

BroApp

My new application inspiration post is one for the boys a.k.a. bros! You need it apparently.

So if I understand men: you are too busy hanging with your mates and just want to do bro things instead of texting your girlfriend? Well, you have your wingman bro, thanks to the BroApp (available in Google Play, soon in the App store).

Urgh, another text message from my girlfriend

I guess you all know the feeling when your girlfriend is texting you while you are trying to do cool bro things, like playing games with your Playstation or Xbox 360, enjoying the ridiculously lame movie, drinking (a lot of) beer, fishing or other activities where you are using the word ‘bro’ constantly. Finally there is an app for you guys, namely the BroApp. 

You don’t have to ignore your girlfriend anymore or you don’t have to take the five “long” seconds out of your bro-time to text her something like: ‘Hi Honey, had  a lovely day, how was yours? Love you’, cause that is apparently really complicated and hard.

The BroApp: benefits

This is not a joke! It lets you send pre-programmed text messages to your girlfriend. You can select those pre-programmed messages, but you can edit them or write some on your own. I would recommend you to write your own messages because the pre-programmed ones are very lame! Or would you call your girlfriend “Darl” as in “Darling? Guess not.  

Then it is possible to set the time and date to send the text. And that’s all, the app does the rest for you. The intelligent thing is that the app knows the woman’s WIFI, so there shouldn’t be an awkward moment when she receives a text while you are still together, in the same room. You can also cancel a scheduled message of course.

• Apparently, the app actually increases the communication in your relationship. Even though your girlfriend will find out that you have your special wingman, some of them still love it. Cause now there is a small conversation –thanks to the automated message- that your girlfriend wouldn’t have had without the app.

• Another good thing about the app is that you only can program in one girlfriend at the time, which means that the BroApp is anti-being-a-cheater. Hell yeah!

• It is not only for texting your girlfriend. Cause do you have a mom who thinks that you have forgotten all about her when you’re not texting twice a week? Well, program BroApp to text your mom and another thing is solved.

My opinion?

I would figure it out I guess, cause the app is not a secret, it is popular. At first, it wouldn’t be a problem for me. As long as I can start a little conversation with my boyfriend.

But after some time, I would realize I am talking  to a robot.  Women are emotional human beings who want to get sincere attention.

And I think it will not take long before there is a version for girls. Then you have a relationship where your robot is texting her robot. How romantic!

But guys, this is your decision. Give it a try and you’ll see.

Have fun doing bro-things, whatever this might be!

4 Awesome Apps for Valentine's Day

Oh crap, forgot that it’s almost Feb. 14? Whether you love or hate it, there’s no escaping it. Trust me, girls always expect something on Valentine’s Day… . Here are some apps that will help you to be the perfect Valentine and survive the day. 

Open table

There isn’t an easier way to make restaurant reservations. Open table is an iPhone app that filters  restaurants by price, neighborhood, cuisine and available times. When tapping on a restaurant, you’ll get a description, the menu, parking information and most importantly: reviews. Too bad? Don’t go! Too noisy? You don’t want to do that on Valentine’s Day… Too expensive?  Yes please! Once you know when you want to be there, simply lock in a time an make your reservation. And you’ve scored… App store

Avocado

Avocado is a social network for couples that's completely private and viewable by only the two of you. Sharing notes, thoughts, memories, photos, and many more is one feature. Another feature, which is great for guys and even better for the girls, is a calendar. It helps you remember important dates for the two of you. So, no excuses anymore! There is also a sort of bucket list you can create. Use it for vacation getaway ideas, date nights or even naughty stuff. Relax, t’s private, no one will ever know! Android Market & App store.

Other similar apps are Pair (where thumbkisses are a fact) and Between.

30 Day Relationship challenge

Put the spark back in your love life and show your other half how much you love her/him. The app motivates you to do something special and romantic. They say that in the end, you’ll have a stronger relationship. I’m curious… BUT, it’s not just once, you have to do something sweet for 30 days in a row. Believe me, the suggestions are very simple and don’t require a lot of money or planning. You can always change an activity to another or add an own custom activity. If you accept the challenge and stay committed to it, maybe you will feel closer to each other. Like the concept, but I think it’s hard to stay committed to the challenge for 30 days in a row. I might forget it... Android Market

Pocket Kamasutra

Do I have to explain this one? I think the name describes itself.

Valentine’s Day is all about love, and where there is love, there is… sex! The app is filled with many highly detailed positions with illustrations. You can keep track of the ones you’ve tried, mark  your favorites and create a ‘to do list’. I guess this is THE app to spice up your relationship TONIGHT, what are you waiting for? Android Market & App store

Are you single and lonely on Feb.14? Don’t forget the dating apps ‘Tinder’ and ‘Let’s Date’. It’s like math, two negatives, make a positive : two lonely hearts, make a match and end up having….
