Apps you wished existed but dont (or maybe do and someone can tell you what they are)

[Anonemousse]

I want an app that:

You know when you agree to do something with someone but on the day really cant be bothered but dont want to let them down so you go anyway?
Well, I want an app that allows both people to press a button that says they dont want to go. The other person wont know you've pressed it UNLESS they also press it! So if you both of you say you dont want to go then it is cancelled without either of you feeling like you let the other person down. But if only one person presses the button, that person knows the other person still wants to do it so they should go and the person who wants to go never knows that the other person wanted to cancel.

I also want a fashion app that you put all your favourite shops into and can search all of them in one go instead of having to go to each website. And also that curates for you. So if you want boots to go with a specific skirt, then it looks through the websites for similar looks and makes suggestions for you. That will create looks that you might not have normally considered.

If anyone takes these ideas, I want 10% of profits please. Ta!

Love the antisocial vibe of the first one 😂

It could also be used for gift giving or not giving gifts when people feel the need for obligatory exchanges, would save a few mumsnet posts 😂😂

Chat gpt will do the second!

Yes! You could call it WotBox! I guess the problem would be getting your friends and family to sign up to it though because by suggesting it, you are already telling people you dont want to do gifts.

Your first idea is fantastic! Brilliant thinking, love it!
Second one, personally I've done similar with Gemini AI that came pre-loaded on my mobile. Find me X pair of shoes, size X, use shops/online retailers X, Y and Z.

Maybe the first one could be an added feature to the current apps like doodle that let you check availability, you could mark availability and if you actually want to go or not, then if both/all say "nope " it says, uh oh, not free times work, try again in a month or two.

An app that told you how many people were at an event.

Where the nearest dog waste bin is - the Crap app perhaps.

Ive thought for a long time there should be an app or website that tells you what foods taste like and their nearest equivalents. I’m very picky with food and if I fancy something new it would be good to see what other things it tastes like (and their nearest equivalents texture) to give me an idea if I would like it.

Shazam for clothes!

My gym tells me how many people are currently checked in there
