Here is the product description:
"This is a super offer which is only available now and only for you! It's a true magic wand for your mobile phone! A truly unusual application that wins the sympathies of any person, conquers hearts and enables victory in seemingly unsolvable situations. It's time to express your feelings, have a serious talk, or send your best wishes to someone immediately, but...you are awfully lacking time for that! Sounds familiar, isn't it? It will never happen again because the painful search for the appropriate phrase is now in the past. TXT Buddy is a convenient and universal helper which will solve all problems for you. It contains approximately nine hundred original and witty messages in 20 sections, so you will always have a good message to send."
First off, the vendor for this app is 'Herocraft Ukraine.' This should send alarm bells to anybody considering purchasing it. The broken English in the product description should also serve as a warning. This is not the kind of product you want to be using if you are trying to communicate with others. But what do the customers have to say?
"Who came up with this crap? Thought it would have have simple sms like 'on my way' but nothing useful like that."
"Wasted my money. When I run the app I can't click on anything, and when it does work, everything is in German and unreadable anyway."
and my favorite
"Great idea if it worked!"
Look, I don't think this is a great idea at all. Texting is inherently lazy, and an app like this is intended to make it even lazier. How can you send somebody a meaningful message using somebody else's words? That's a terrible idea. And on most phones, it's not hard to quickly type out a message. Seriously. This is a terrible app, it's totally broken, and it's not even sure what language it wants to be in. But I will give it credit for this much...the product description is about the best ever. It has me thinking that my Blackberry is going to make me irresistible to women, filthy rich, and with godlike powers. Yet were I to purchase it, I'd be four dollars poorer, and several IQ points stupider.
This one is as 'epic fail' as they get, folks.
