Spring brings mischief, and has struck Android as well. With three new apps you can try faking a cracked screen (Broken Screen Touch!) or rate sarcasm in the room (Sarcasm-O-Meter). For more serious stuff like learning about speed and distance, download Speedy.
Speedy is a Free app that enables you to get more precise with speed and distance measurements. Just bring along this Android app. Speedy tracks your maximum speed, the distance traveled on a trip, the distance between two set points and your current and maximum acceleration. Want to switch between metric and other measurement systems? Just go into settings and change it up.
Who would use this? Runners, off-roaders, parents with teen drivers, and probably many others.
Broken Screen Touch! is yet another Free app that can be used for fun times. Here’s one for the prank category.
Run this app just before passing your phone to a friend. When they touch the screen, cracks will appear in it. The app cleverly overlays whatever they do so it will seem real. You can adjust the settings to start after a specific number of taps or show a maximum number of cracks. After your friend has freaked out, you can clear the screen by exiting the app running in the background.
Sarcasm-O-Meter allows you to scan the sarcasm meter. Point your phone at someone and press “Start.” The app will randomly generate a sarcasm measurement between 1 and 100 percent. Go into preferences to turn on vibrate while the app is “measuring”, adjust the level of the computing sound effects, set the minimum and maximum results, or even change the title of the meter. Yes it’s Free!
