Angry Boy

Angry Boy App for iPhone
     I actually downloaded this with my teenage son in mind.  It's a sort of "stress relief" application.  It allows you to 'freak out' and break dishes until you feel better.
     The "Help" icon on the start up screen gives you the instructions.  You 'shake' your phone to break the dishes.  At first this sounded like the worst possible idea.  One wrong move and you could accidentally toss your iPhone across the room and watch it shatter against the wall.  And upon playing it seemed like it took an awfully great amount of shaking to break the dishes... That is, until I figured out the easier method (Safer).
     The trick is to 'gently' shake the phone for a brief moment, then stop.  This will break the dishes.  Shake, stop, shake, stop.  Until the meter fills up.  Please do not shake the life out of your phone.  And even when shaking gently, please be sure you have a firm grip on your phone, just to be safe.
     There are 3 levels to play on, depending upon how much frustration you have.  The more "angry" the more dishes it will take to fill your meter.
     Once all of the dishes are smashed, and your happy meter is full you get a famous quote and a time.  You can enter your name and it will log this as one of your "best times".  To access these scores at any time, check the "log" section of the app.
     The concern I have is that someone 'very frustrated' may play this application by actually shaking the phone fiercely, without truly meaning to.  So please play with caution.
     Aside from the possibility of a 'human error' being dangerous, I think it is a simple and entertaining application.  A sound of "breaking" happens upon every dish that cracks due to your shaking.  It is also fun to try to beat your better scores.  Overall, I like the application.  But I am not sure it is something I could see myself using often or for a long time (IE multiple times within the next several weeks or months).  But that could be because I don't get frustrated that often?  It seems like more of an app for younger people (Not younger as in 'children' just as in teens and young adults.  Though children could play this as well, I doubt they'd be as disciplined in not shaking the phone too vigorously).
