Free iPhone App Halp!




Sinecure Industries has announced the release of Halp! 1.2, an update to their free Advice Generator for iPhone and iPod touch. There have been some major changes in this version 1.2 release. There is a new, larger font, a refresh button, crisper graphics and even more bad advice! Even better, it's still free.

As a company, Sinecure Industries has learned several valuable lessons from the release of "Halp! The Advice Generator" and the subsequent reaction:

Problem #1: People no longer learn/know how to read cursive. We have received hundreds of complaints from people telling us that Halp! was in another language. A few told us they wanted a refund on their free app. Needless to say, we happily obliged.

Solution #1: "Halp! The Advice Generator" now has a crisp, clean font. The font is also larger as a few people said the text was both illegible and too small.

Problem #2: People are too weak to shake their phone to refresh. This complaint went hand in hand with the font problem. I can relate to this problem, with so many pieces of bad advice, going through them all can become tiring. Then again, the iPhone weighs a whole pound and if you are tired shaking it, well, you have bigger problems.

Solution #2: "Halp! The Advice Generator" now has a refresh button location in the upper right portion of the app interface. No more embarrassing arm fat jiggling! No more heart palpitations from an iPhone app! Sinecure Industries understands what it is to be lazy and we're here to help. Or Halp!

Problem #3: "My family is dead, I hope you're happy" review on the App Store.

Solution #3: We're very happy that you're finding new ways to live your life from "Halp! The Advice Generator" and are pleased you found a piece of advice that really spoke to you. We're also very happy we have modified terms and conditions that completely absolve us from any liability in this matter!

Problem #4: "All of your advice is bad" - support e-mail.

Solution #4: Shut up!

Pricing and Availability:
Halp! The Advice Generator 1.2 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Productivity category.
