You know them. They are the apps that make your friends say, "You spent hundreds of dollars on an iPhone/iPod Touch so you could do that?" But you have seen the kinds of things that have become immensely popular on the internets lately, so you know that if there is a weird runaway hit, it may be Cr-app.
Sorry, haven't done a Cr-apps post in a while. With the 3.0 update, there were so many good apps to look at that the Cr-apps were pushed to the side. The following weekend was my sixteenth wedding anniversary, so no blogging that day. But we return this week with a few really crappy Cr-apps.

Twice As Hot
Ordinarily, I don't include screenshots in the Cr-apps posts, but I will make an exception today. Twice as Hot is so incredibly lame that I thought you wouldn't believe me if I just told you. According to its App Store description, you enter in the current temperature and Twice as Hot will tell you, that's right, how hot it would be if it were twice as hot. Now you would think that an app that multiplies any number by two would definitely qualify as a Cr-app, but this app must figure in wind chills and heat indexes or something because... well just check out the screens and see what I mean:

The really scary thing is that this app was created by a high school senior who plans to attend Georgia Tech. Let's hope that they can teach him some math before they let him be an engineer.
Frog Box
With Frog Box you get all the fun of playing with a dead frog on your iPhone! To make it even cooler, they threw in a lunchbox and a ball of string!

G-Force Attack of the Shoddy Builders
Wow! What a horrible game. Play as a hard-hatted beauty standing in the back of a pickup truck shooting bricks out of the air with your trusty caulk gun? A little research into the developer uncovered that they make their living by producing games that advertise a product - in this case Gripfill caulk. I'm sure that the Cr-apps have not seen the last of Four Door Ltd.
