Sorry iPhone Users

When I said that the iPhone was not a serious business phone I clearly had not seen a application like this. In only 2 days its cracked the top 20 most purchased applications.

    They should just come up with a soundboard application that can alter your voice, wild animals, or some other way to scare people with your phone.

  2. Mr. School Fundraising ideas

    The iPhone sucks for a couple of reasons, that have probably already been mentioned, sold only by one phone company, the “3G” is not great and it is crazy expensive to buy and own.

  3. AJ Kumar

    The Iphone is totally something you love & hate. Well, in my opinion due to its major LAGG!! The guy that created this software made it big time. All it takes is 1 idea. A great message to people in the dumps (no pun intended), that there will be more failures in life than successes, but it takes just 1 success that will outweigh the rest.

  4. Blogging Tips

    You know I just remembered .. about 5+ years ago some company announced a prototype for computer speakers that dispensed a variety of fragrances to maximize multimedia experiences .. if it starts raining in the movie or game you could actually smell the rain .. that kinda thing .. anyway I’m just glad their company failed. :)

  5. SEO

    Agreed! is hilarity.

  6. Austin

    The program actually looks fun.

  7. izrada stranica

    hahaha

  8. jackie sheeler

    this is the app that can finally replace uncle pull-my-finger at holiday gatherings! gotta go get me a copy!

    • Austin

      It is only 99 cents….The problem is tiny cell phone speakers do not render audio well and it just sounds fake.

  9. OJ Simpson in jail

    That is funny, but it sounds too digital and not very realistic (maybe the recording is low quality audio?). The funny fart kid video that was one of the most watched videos on YouTube is funnier.

  10. Karl Hadwen

    This app is mint

  11. small business ideas

    Farting…. Is cool apparently. Marketing never ceases to Amaze me. Just think some dude with a masters in marketing probably came up with that. My nephew needs a job???

  12. Hoteles

    I Just downloaded it – pretty cool – you should have an aff link ;)

  13. thewutzupphilippines

    i really love this iphone. nothing beats the style and features.

  14. Bob

    I’m skeptical… how could someone that has made a huge pile of cash in the ringtone biz think there wouldn’t be money with iPhone apps?

    I smell linkbait!

  15. Brian " Cure Acne " W.

    This is the greatest!

    I got to send this to my friend.

  16. Blogger Tips

    everyone loves a good fart joke .. I’m actually developing a prototype for a new phone … codenamed iPoo … when you get a call instead of playing a ringtone it literally takes a big crap right on your desk .. that’s right the first phone with a poohole … I’m playing off the popularity of ringtones with what we call crappers .. yeah you can customize your iPoo with all kinds of crappers .. kitty crappers, runny crappers, big crappers, chunky crappers, taco crappers, sour egg crappers .. we even have the little bitty pebble crappers … so next time you’re dropping a bomb … think iPoo

  17. gumbosan

    Wanna see a fart in action ?

    Try browsing this blog with an iPhone. :)

  18. Typhoon

    Recently I gave iPhone was given away in blog’s contest :) and iPhone was a good thing to attract people.

  19. Reid

    It is kinda amazing how well some of the most random apps do. iFart? I guess it is pretty hilarious…

  22. Learn English Online

  23. StartBreakingFree.com

    iPhone is still best business phone :)

  24. BlogAngry

    That’s funny

  25. Outlet

    Hey Shoe, it is fu**ing useful thing :D

  26. kupkadotca

    god bless you sir for introducing me to the ifart app… hours of entertainment!

  27. Logan

    If only I had an iPhone.

    • Austin

      Is it worth a forced 60-70 a month data plan on top of the voice plan to have one?

  28. icq

    Yep these silly apps seem to do the best in the app store

  29. anty

    People buy everything that is apple related… iCrap

  30. Greg Ellison

    The Iphone apps are a gold rush right now. I don’t have any programming talent. Greg Ellison

  31. jim

    This is why the app store is going to make apple billions…

  32. Swizec

    Now I seriously want an iPhone. Because of this app.

    Damn you all!

  33. FunkySouth

    great phone ! Great design & UI…To sexy.

  34. Talkpedia

    That application will certainly help me with my farting business!

  35. Seo Creations

    Agreed!!! This is pure hilarity

  36. Matt Helphrey

    Very nice. Always ahead of the game…what will they think of next?

  37. Steitiyeh

    Guys i think that Jeremy created that post to show what kind of application that are iPhone users are interested in. Personally i do agree with you Jeremy that the iPhone is not a business phone AT ALL if i would ever get one, it wont be my primary phone!! NEVER

    Hope i understood what you meant Jeremy

    Thanks

      It’s hilarious, all this gack about “business phones”. Is this it? Is that the difference? Is something not suitable for “business” because it’s extremely versatile, easy to code for and, worst of all, FUN? And if a “serious” business phone MUST have a chicket keyboard, why does the Storm exist? I guess what we can all take from this is that in order for something to be suitable for “business”, it must be dull, predictable and come in a variety of incompatible versions.

    • BusinessX

      A business phone would be one where the productivity would exceed the cost of the phone. Would a $600 phone cover its own ROI? Hard to see how. Bling, bells and whistles, and fart apps, are not what make a business. A business phone would have a long way to go to cover ROI, when you place it against a free or $20-40 dollar phone that comes with signing up with a service. Maybe if you said a iPhone would allow you to write x number of posts more than a smart phone, that each post is worth y. Then x times y = additional revenue. Is additional revenue more than $600? That would make it a business phone, otherwise it is a toy.

      • His Shadow

        What 600$ phone? Try 300, or 200 if you don’t need the space? And if you get a full featured handheld computer that allows custom applications for any business need, you don’t think after two years you can get 600 dollars worth of productivity out of it? That’s simply small minded. You want to spend 20 to 40 dollars on a handset, go ahead. You get what you pay for. And if ROI mattered a whit, why do so many businesses still stick with the Hell that is Windows PC product support?

        Face it. The not-a-business-phone meme is just mindless reflex jibber to cover an anti-Apple bias. Nothing more, nothing less.

  38. Jens P. Berget

    Finally, something useful for my iPhone :-)

    … actually, I thought that I discovered an awesome app when I found your post, well, the app is awesome, but just not the way I thought it would be LOL.

    • Dick

      iPhone even show itself.

  39. Alex

    oh dear. Just awesome.

    I would love to go pitch a vc with this product.
    “hey, kid, what cool app did you develop on the iphone?”

    “well, sir, a fart app. Yes, it really makes fart noises”

    “that’s great. here’s a term sheet for $3M. just make sure your road map captures diarrhea sounds. good job kid”

    AWESOME

  40. teamray

    Yep these silly apps seem to do the best in the app store.

  41. Jon Barker

    That is awesome! I don’t have an iPhone, but if I did, I would have that app! Although I have enough gas that I’m not sure I would need it. Thanks for sharing Shoe!

  42. Online Privateer

    Man, I knew I should have gone for the Iphone instead of the Ipod. Listening to farts in my headphones just isn’t quite the same…

  43. joe gelb

    pretty much is the summnation of an over hyped product lol

  44. Dan

    Wait until you see the new features coming out next week and beyond..

  45. myrtle beach condos

    what an awesome product, makes me regret the new bberry i just bought

    • Seo Creations

      Why you brought bb?

    • Taris Janitens

      Black berry is very useful for sure – I’m interested to see the new offerings that are supposedly coming out from them!!! I’ve heard of a Iphone killer, but I’ll believe it when I see it

      This is something coming out in 6-8 months that is better than the storm – I guess we’ll see!!

  46. Julie

    I was leaning between a Blackberry or an iPhone and well, this just seals the deal! Bring on my new iPhone!

    • Arfan

      Honestly I would take a blackberry any day because of the qwerty keyboard, because I email a lot, and the blackberry messenger is ultra cool =D, so if you are going to be emailing and typing stuff alot I would go with a blackberry.

      • John Kane

        Just carry both like me…Blackberry Bold and Iphone! Then you get the best of both worlds!

  47. headphones

    C’mon, you’re just jealous you can’t get that on your phone!

  48. Taris Janitens

    honestly – this is amazing hahahahaha

    I’m going to have to check this app out lol

  49. you

    i’ve got a fart recorder built into my dutch oven

  50. IamJustinM

    Exxxxactly.

  51. Jeremy

    LOL! Right on man!

  52. Arfan

    hahaha damnn thats so neat, I feel like switching my bold to my iphone to use this application.

  53. Daniel

    Oh my god.. Really? I would rather just splurge $999 on the ‘I am Rich’ app than this crap!

  54. PlanetAndrea

    genius. fart a friend lol

  55. jtGraphic

    We don’t have AT&T over here in Vermont, but they just bought Unicel the local provider and should be sealing the deal soon. I suppose that means I would finally be able to get an iPhone. What’s interesting is I think the iFart app says something about the general population…

    • Arfan

      You could also get a Locked Iphone and get a X-sim or Furious sim to get it Unlocked , I have tested it out many works perfectly.

      • jtGraphic

        I suppose I meant officially. I didn’t want to pay a few hundred for the phone, then another couple hundred for a cancellation fee, then unlock it… then… still have reduced functionality. Although I did consider it.

    • Payday Loan Reviewer

      You mean it says the same thing about the entire population that Youtube, Jackass, VH1 reality shows, Howard Stern, and Myspace don’t? Yeah, we’re all sheep that are easily entertained.

  56. Miles Baker

    I think that this app. was a brilliant business idea, created by Joel Comm & team it goes to show that the iPhone is SERIOUS business. I wonder how much they’ve made from it so far.

    However, no app is perfect, I LOVE this review on their iTunes app page…

    “I have restarted my phone and tried to reinstall. Still no sound. What a waste of money! Only good thing is I just farted myself which was slightly amusing.”

    LOL!!

    • Arfan

      “I have restarted my phone and tried to reinstall. Still no sound. What a waste of money! Only good thing is I just farted myself which was slightly amusing.” hahhaha I had a nice chuckle of that =D

    • BusinessX

      That is a good one. I find funny Joel Comm decided to go with the absolute lowest common denominator for an iPhone app. But he was proved right.

  57. FS

    3G iPhone Rocks! business, games, drunken nights when you wonder where you are….., and hey if you need to get away from a blind date…perfect app.

    • Seo Creations

      Yup, it’s rock

      • Typhoon

        Yup..Good Idea to get away from a blind date :{}

  58. Matt Siltala

    Its amazing these apps get so much love. its almost annoying that its so simple, but Kudos to these guys – that’s freaking awesome!!

  59. Steven-Sanders

    This definitely needs to be sent to John Chow.

    I wouldn’t be able to do alot of things with the iPhone that I can do with my AT&T Tilt.

    I don’t think I’ll ever switch.

    • Dick

      I think you can try. -)

    • BusinessX

      Chow had this on his app highlight for the PhoDotCom this past weekend.

  60. Doug

    This app has gotten so much press(even you fell for it). . .and the more press it gets the higher up on the charts it will get.

    If you look at the rest of the top paid applications – http://www.appstoreapps.com/top-100-paid-app-store-apps/ – you can see there are a few of those ‘pointless’ apps, but the rest are very good games/utilities.

  61. |1f34|-|1r3

    it’s a cool application..too bad i don’t have an Iphone

  62. David Turnbull

    Ah, but there is nothing like the real thing.

    Sure, this captures the sound, but the entire experience just isn’t present.

    • gumbosan

      You haven’t met my colleagues.. :)

  63. meethere

    looks cool.. That’s a lots of download..
    Thanks for sharing.

  64. Digital SLR Camera

    This app would help me get so much work done…

    • Arfan

      How does it help you get your work does lol?

      • BusinessX

        I believe digital SLR camera and Shoemoney are using what is called sarcasm.

        • Digital SLR Camera

          Ding Ding Ding. We have a winner!

        • Overworked

          I think my cube mate has IFart. At least I hope he does.

    • Payday Loan Reviewer

      LOL – It would kill productivity in my office.

      BUT… I’d rather have iFarts in the background than the real thing.

  65. Mega Champ

    Well may be people are bored with all the usual games and other web apps, they needed a different experience :-D

    • Taris Janitens

      Agreed!!! This is pure hilarity

      I love the fact that you can put the fart security up – and the timed fart!! This is endless awesomeness lol

    • Smitty

      I showed the video to my 13 year old. He wants me to get him an IPhone just so he fart on his friends.

      • teraom

        if iphine is complex, you can get an ipod touch. you can fart wit that one too..

      • BusinessX

        Did you offer to feed him beans instead?
