Angry Birds!

I thought I would switch gears a little bit here and make this week's blog post a little bit on the techy/fun side.  It also came to me as I was actually playing the highly addictive game "Angry Birds".

So, without further adieu, watch the following video and then answer the following question:

Angry Birds is a very popular smart phone app. Brainstorm a new phone app.  It can be a game, a service or anything you can think of.  Describe your app and how it will be valuable to your customers.

Then when you have come up with your "million" dollar idea, go here and make your dream a reality.

Good luck!

Mr. Boettger  :-)

    1. Hi Dustin,
      They Already have a app for that well kinda its Facetime but you can talk and see each other and on a ipod touch you can just go to contact and call some one. You could even use your home phone or cell phone.

    THE APP I WILL BE DESIGNING IS CALLED......

    * EXOMETER *

    THIS APP WILL HELP YOU KEEP TRACK OF YOUR EXERCISE. THERE ARE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES LIKE CARDIO, ABS, QUADS, BACK, CALVES AND ARMS. WITHIN THOSE CATEGORIES ARE DIFFERENT EXERCISES AND EACH TIME YOU DO THOSE EXERCISES YOU WILL ENTER THE DATE, HOW MANY YOU DID AND YOUR GOAL FOR THE NEXT TIME YOU DO THAT EXERCISE. THIS WILL HELP YOU KEEP TRACK OF HOW MUCH EXERCISE YOU ARE GETTING. MANY PEOPLE TRY TO EXERCISE BUT JUST DON'T KEEP UP WITH IT, THIS APP WITH ALSO GIVE YOU A DAILY REMINDER TO EXERCISE IF YOU FORGET. WHEN YOU DECIDE TO GET THE APP IT WILL HAVE A LOG IN ASKING YOU YOUR AGE, NAME, WEIGHT AND YOUR GOAL WEIGHT(IF YOU ARE JUST EXERCISING JUST TO EXERCISE YOU DO NOT HAVE TO ENTER YOU GOAL WEIGHT). IT WILL ALSO GIVE YOU FACTS ABOUT HOW MUCH YOU SHOULD EXERCISE DEPENDING ON YOUR AGE AND WEIGHT, THE HEAVIER YOU ARE THE MORE YOU SHOULD EXERCISE. THIS APP WILL KEEP PEOPLE KEEP FIT OR LOOSE WEIGHT.

    The app i would make would have three buttons on it here is what they would they do:
    1.Walk the dog around the park.
    2.clean your house(laundry, rooms, vacuum etc.)
    3.Any thing yo would like to happen (drive you to Barrie, get groceries, or MAYBE!!!even get the wining lottery ticket).
    This app would be called "THREE MAGIC BUTTONS" it would be for any type of apple products and it would be free to get on the app store.
    so imaging a free app could get you a wining lottery ticket.

      That is an amazing idea, I think the lottery idea is cool. I think I know a couple of people that would buy that app. I love the part of it driving you somewhere, it would be like having your own personal chauffeur.

  7. Kirsten,

    My million dollar phone app idea is an app that would tell you what you should do. This will help those people who have nowhere to go and nothing to do. When you go to the app it gives you categories of things to do for example:
    1. Sports
    2. Art/Crafts
    3. Family/Group
    ect...

    Then once you choose one of the categories, options and ideas will pop up, for example:
    1. Clean Room
    2. Play soccer with your siblings
    3. make a paper airplane
    4. Ask parents to go on a road trip (no school needed)
    5. Go for a walk

    If you tap a craft from the Art category then instructions on how to make the craft will pop up.

    This app would be so easy to use and will be so helpful. I know that moms will like it if their kids sit and play video games all day long!! :)

      I think that idea is really good because I am bored all the time it is perfect for giving you ideas for something to do and you can even just click the category of something you want to do. What I also like is that it can tell you how to make a craft if you want to make crafts. :)

      hi kirsten.
      i look you app if you really made this app i would tottaly buy it. the reson why i would by it because that is what i am like on the weekend. also, because when i tell my mom i am bored she says "only boring people get bored". so with this app ( if i got it) i could do abunch of stuff. the only question i have is if you did make this app would you have to put in where you are? because if i was in barrie i don't think i want to do something in new york. l.o.l ;)
      i love your app!!

    If I were to make a new smartphone app I would make an app that would be a game. This game would be a very useful app because it would be geared towards babies because some parents give their phone to the baby to keep them quiet. It would be a game that parents can chose the mode for their child such as bubble pop game or a game that the baby can build a tower on. My app would be called Baby Fun, I would call it this because it is geared towards the younger ages. I think this would be useful because if you were in a public place and your little one is complaining you give them the Baby Fun game. For Example, you are waiting in the doctors office and your toddler is complaining of boredom you give them the Baby Fun game and they could be busy for hours, this way you can continue your appointment without your child bugging you that they are bored.

    If I were to make an app for my iPod I would make a game that is fun and that is suitable for all ages. I would call it "THE THRILLER". What you would do in the game was there would be a character running around all over the place there is a different location in every level and you would have to swipe the screen up for it to jump swipe it left and right for it to turn and to collect the coins you would have to touch the character and movie him/her to the side and when you shake your iPhone, iPod, or iPad the game will pause and the menu will come up and you will be able to restart resume or go to the main menu.

    The app "Angry Birds" is a very popular game that is quit addicting! Now I'm going to try to make people get just as addicted to this new app called, "Crazy Music" With this app you can buy any song you could possibly think of for free!! You can also make any kind of music you want, like having a rap song that you like the lyrics to but you want the country music so you take the lyrics from the rap song and put it into the country music and you just made a new song that fits your style!!! :) Hope you like my idea!

    If I invented an app it would be a default app for other apps that you may have on your phone that you don't want anyone else to look at. First you pick the app or apps that you may want to hide then you drag it on the app and it will be in side the app. To lock it you have to go onto settings and make a new password and now every thing is locked that is in the app, so its safe. Then you can change the picture and name of the app from the outside to a boring default picture that no one will want to open. I call this app "Apps Away"

    for a cool and addictive app i would make an app called YOUR LIFE!!!!!
    You would make yourself and you could do anything you want it to. You would have fake friends and when you talk to them you don't have to type you because it would respond to your voice. Your friends will respond to what you say and act the way a real person does. You can go shopping and have any pets you want. You can pick which grade you r in and each year you'll move up a grade unless you fail. You can pick if you want siblings or not. You can do anything!!!!

  15. Well there can be a alphabetical order app that organizes everything into alphabetical order. For example:Your looking for "Kik" and all you have to
    do is go to the K section and you'd find "Kik".


    Another idea I have is a game where you have to drop this smiley face in between the wood and sting etc. They smiley face has to somehow get 3 stars that are in random places without falling off the wood. This game could be called "Splitter hitter".


    This one is called "Pizza paradise". There is a girl named Annie who works there who is saving money up for a trip to France she needs to raise $1000 in 31 days! There are 31 levels of course!. in order to pass each level you need to raise $50-$100 in each level to processed. After you completed the game you will see a picture of Annie driving off in a car on her way to France :] But remember keep the costumers waiting to long they might get mad and take off! but if you in time for there pizza you will get the money you need.Help Annie go to France before times up!

    if i was going to make a popular app i would make a homework app. this app would be for anyone in school ( elementary school, middle school, high school, collage and university). it is perfect because if you are like me i hate having to bring all my text books and note books home.but with the homework app you just have to fallow these steps.
    1. download the homework app for 0.99 cents
    2. open your app on you ipod, iphone, blackberry etc.
    3. type in what your name, your school, your grade and what subject you are woking on
    4. then it will bring up all the text books in that subject.
    5. select the textbook and the page you have to work on
    6. once you have the page, in the corner there will be a picture of a note book, click it
    7. now you can type your homework.
    8. once you are done you can connect to your printer and print it off.
    that is how you use the homework app. i hope who ever is reading this likes my idea because this would work great for if you are going to a sports event you can do your homework in the car.

    this app idea was made by Sydney Mussgnug

      Hey Syd,
      I love your idea!! You explain it really well and it would really save space in everyones bakc packs. I think that it will be easier to use to intead of having to carry the giant math text book home and have stress on your back (im not saying im old). The one thing id have a problem with is my parents. They wont let me bring my ipod to school because they are afraid it would get lost.

    For a bran new smart phone app I would want to make a tricky destroying game. This is because
    I think this is why everyone likes playing angry birds. So for an app I came up with "Robot Revoulution". In this game you would be one of the only people left on earth and you have a giant non-moble sling shot that shoots parts of robots that you have already distroyed at other robots to distroy them. In this game you can also throw unlimited bombs to blow up biuldings with robots in them.

    Sydney I like your idea of the homework app. How did you come up with it? Its a really good idea because I dont like luging my heavy text books around on my back either. I think it would be a handy app to have if I had something to down load it on.

    if i could make an app it would be wipe out. But there's a twist you would actually have to what the app tells you to do, so if it told you to jump onto the balls you would have to actually jump to a different spot, and if you want to quite you have to fall. and if you were to miss a ball the iPod would give you a little shock. The customers would want to play this game because it fun and funny to watch other people do.

    I would event a NhL hockey game. I know are going to say ther are plenty of hockey games out there but in this one you can make your own player by chosing his look, stick he uses and the rest of his eqipment, you would have to play in the ohl and make your way up by to the Nhl points so that you can get drafted and choose what team you play for by salary for the year, one or two way deal,and other things. You will just be your own player and nobody else. You will be able to be traded too. Your goals will be the maurice richard trophy for most goals in a season , scoring title which is most points in a season.

    For my app idea, I would make an app called ‘Blow The Balloon’. For this game, you would have to blow your balloon without popping your balloon on spikes. You would have to ovoid all kinds of different obstacles.
    My application would be able for free for the free version. The free version comes with 9 levels. With the paid version, it is 99 cents and has 100 levels and more coming. At the beginning there will be a few tutorials and will be very addicting and fun, just like Angry Birds.
