    My dream app would be an essay writing one.

    Just picture it, you have so many assignments to do, and you have very little time, just input the name of your essay and/or the theme and main points about the topic, the app then gathers information from the internet and prints it out for you in an easy to read format ! :D ... in a dream world lol

    I think I would call it E-say ;)

    Why not go all out and go lazy and dream world.

    Get an app that does all your work for you!!! So that you can just mess about on Boards all day and on other internet sites :D

    With a general election coming up it would be useful to have an app that showed you who was ringing your doorbell.

    The option to send 220V to the doorbell from the mains electricity would be a nice money-making paid upgrade. Fry a politician for €0.99 :pac:

    My dream app is I-meet, picture this, you walk into a nightclub, full of gorgeous chicks, you approach a dozen chicks who all blow you off, your self confidence is crushed, you see another chick, chick 13, you like her but because of a serious mauling of confidence you do not approach her, little known to you but shes attracted to you, this was the one, the fish in the sea, the love of your life but you walk away.

    Fast forward, you install the I-meet app on your phone, enter the nightclub, your bluetooth connects with all the chicks in the nightclub who are on the prowl, the first 12 chicks you would have approached have already deleted you from their phones as they're not interested, but chick 13 clicks the box, shes interested and you know it, you walk up to her full of confidence, a friendly smile and a few drinks and shes yours. I-meet - don't be forever alone!!!

    My dream app would be one that that can tell you whether you've left lights on in your house, then gives you the option of switching them off remotely. Could also be handy while on holidays, you could make it look like someone is at home by turning lights on and off during the day!

    Mobile Nutritionist.

    An app that allows you to enter you physical information (height, weight, age, body fat percentage) and any body targets you have (losing weight, building muscle). The app will then calculate your optimum dietary requirements. At every meal you scan the bar-code on your food to get the nutritional information and you enter the amount you will be consuming. As a result you will be able to track your diet in very precise detail day by day, and also ensure you are not missing out on any important vitamins or minerals.

    I need a wedding dress App, one that will magically make the weight I want to lose disappear before the big day!
    :D

    How about an app that notifies you of any change to account/privacy settings on any websites you have an account on? E.g. Facebook regularly update their privacy settings and in doing so automatically have them set so your information can be given to outside companies who run games, apps and such on Facebook (e.g. Social Interview).

    The most recent update has also meant that if someone on your friends list signs up to one of these, not only is their information available to the companies, but your information also is too. A majority of users would not be aware of this or know how to change their privacy settings to prevent this from happening. If you are signed up to any websites, then this app will keep track of updates to your settings and will notify you and tell you what you can do to change your privacy settings.

    Not enough people know how to keep profiles/accounts private on sites, and this would help them to know better personal security when online.

    Mine would be an app that when activated stops the missus moaning about football, talking all the way through the football and asking me the same questions about the football everytime she sees it !!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,470 ✭✭✭DonJose


    i-don't want to make the switch

    An app that tells Bord Gais and Airtricity salespeople that you don't want to switch over, that you're happy staying with ESB. Had an airtricity guy cold call me at 5:15pm on Saturday, then their salepeople still come around at least once a month, when they ask me am I interested in saving 13% I say no and they go :eek: and I go :D and close the door.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 57 ✭✭John G


    My app would be I'm Here! an app that recods your location when you press it.

    Good for finding your car in a car park, marking buried treasure etc. You could also send on your location to let someone know your whereabouts. The app could possible be configured to automatically send this on when requested (e.g. so mammy knows where her kids are).

    Its either this or an app that automatically operates my toaster. Whichever gets me the phone!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,112 ✭✭✭Dacelonid


    An app that can detect when I am drunk (using the accelerometers I guess) and stop me from ringing people at 4 in the morning for a chat :-)
    Would also be handy for my mates who also have a habit of doing the same.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,055 ✭✭✭Zipppy


    An iAdvice' app...

    A lot (most?) of the threads on boards and many other forums are threads 'seeking advice'on certain matters, we also have eHow.com, answers.com etc etc ..

    Why not have an app that you can utilise voice recognition software to understand a spoken question submitted to the app and search the www for the 'best fit' answer and speak the answer back to you?

    You could state the category initially .. say 'Jobs advice' and then state your question...the app would go off search teh web for a best answer(s) and alert you when it was ready to tell you the answers?

    An i-win competition winner app :)

    Ignoring idiots who comment "far right" because they don't even know what it means

    So if you're walking down the street and see a girl with a pair of shoes you like, this app would snap them and tell you where you can buy them!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,487 ✭✭✭alexmcred


    Mine would be i-Start.

    On those cold and frosty mornings it would start your car and have it cleared of snow and ice and toasty inside before I get in.

    During the summer it would start the air con so you could get into a nice cool car.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 168 ✭✭Twixster


    i-coffee app. So I can log on while still in bed in the morning and turn on the coffee machine :) and then when the coffee is ready I'll get a text from the machine :D

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,244 ✭✭✭sdanseo


    I'd love a proper traffic app, something which can recognise traffic jams from the camera feeds and use google maps to tell you the quickest route home. Would have to be keenly priced to compete against all the satnavs which claim they can do the same though!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29 froggus


    i-wear

    Never leave the house again committing a fasion faux-pas. Let's you colour coordinate your outfits and even suggests the best combinations in your wardrobe based on the time of year, what's in fashion, day of the week etc.

    A credit Card app. An App that would bring an end to plastic Credit Cards through a Wi-Fi, unhackable credit card app! You could pay for stuff with your phone in a shop/restaurant etc.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55 ✭✭unklefiction


    hemorrdroid - an app that warns and gives the direction of an approaching pain in the arse.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 176 ✭✭odonnellcarey


    I'd really like an app which scans all the TV schedules and sets shows to record based on your preferences.
    The app would be configured by querying me about my favourite programmes, actors, writers, subjects, genres etc.
    My new HTC Desire :D would then regularly update my entertainment system so everything was recorded automatically.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 98 ✭✭stonybroke


    i-Fart

    Its a social app, when you fart it turns the noise into a ringtone and deodorises the smell,

    No more worries when your sitting in your girlfriends livingroom with her parents!!

    i-ShopCheap

    Scans the barcode of an item and displays where you can get it cheapest


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 172 ✭✭markwho


    The iBank, an app which i can keep look at my bank accounts, sort of like email accounts, and can do all my banking from them, from one source. print statements, transfer money. But also has a built in budget-type machine, so you can enter in expenses, and it can automatically put money aside to a savings account and all that sort of stuff.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,992 ✭✭✭Korvanica

    its called shopSavy for android ;)

    I would love a application that would have a list of my current gadgets etc and once a new product come on the market it would tell me where it would fit into my current setup and where i could get it at the best price.
    I suppose like a blend of Engadget and amazon.

    Failing that i would like an application that would analyse a pill/tablet by taking a picture of it and tell me what it is or what it could be, because once they are out of the box/packet it is sometimes very difficult to tell them apart!

    My Immersion

    This clever little app takes your immersion heat model and works out exactly how long it needs to be on for enough water for dishes, a shower or a bath, it then sends a signal to switch off the immersion after the required length of time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,863 ✭✭✭RobAMerc


    igrocer,

    app keeps track of what's leaving your presses and fridge and lets you know the quantities available next time you shop, or could automatically go to online shop and re-order for you one your pre determined level is reached.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 108 ✭✭Redders825


    My dream app would be one which would automatically set the heating on at a pre-set time, so when i am waking up in the mornings it would be nice and cosy in the winter months, the app could also set the windscreen heater on my car, because i know my fingers have been numb the past month scrapping the ice off!!

    So basically its an app that keeps me warm, when i need it most!!
    GOOO HEAT!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,148 ✭✭✭Daith


    Ticketmaster app. Alerts for gigs and a one click process to pay for tickets, with your standard preferences saved.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 567 ✭✭✭DM addict


    My ideal app would be the i-kettle - something to put the kettle on 5 minutes before you walked in the door and have a cup of tea ready for when you come in from work


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,624 ✭✭✭✭Fajitas!


    A MyHome app - I want to be able to decide on my way home to put on the heating, hot water, pre-heat the oven, or put on the wash. (don't forget putting the kettle on for a cuppa!) If I've forgotten to put on the house alarm, or left the TV/radio on, I can turn'em off... All from the comfort of the bus into work, the walk home or in the office. It would all be pretty easy to do too, being able to connect the plug sockets into the houses wireless broadband and setting them to timers. Simples.

    The more complicated ones need integrated wireless units in the electronic devices. But hey, it'd be worth it to come home to hot water and a kettle ready for a cuppa every day.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 84 ✭✭roganjosh


    How about the iPaint. If you're planning on painting a room in your house, you take a photo with your HTC Desire, and then check what the room would look like in your chosen colour before putting it on the wallls.

    My ideal app would be something that allows me to change the music my local radio station plays to suit my individual need without inflicting upon any other listeners, a personalised local radio station


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,570 ✭✭✭Squeeonline


    GoGreen,

    Most people carry their phone with them everywhere, so it is safe to say that if they leave the house, they have their phone with them. As they leave (and there's noone left in the house) anything dangerous to be left on, or wasteful would be shut off automatically. Perhaps a reminder could be sent to phone in cases of doubt and offer the user a choice to turn it off or not.



    iAmSmart -

    an app that knows what you mean, not what you type when searching. It would also help you write things better when your brain just isn't working. So you could copy in a bit of the letter or email or assignment you are writing and it would suggest a better way of writing it. It may detect and suggest changes to the tone, better words, and clearer grammar to make communication more transparent and prevent things being lost in translation.
