Receipt Faker for iPad

Tax time fast approaching? Are you in for an audit and have nowhere to turn? Then Receipt Faker is the iPad app for you.

The Receipt Faker App ties into your Yelp, Google Checkout, Amazon and eBay accounts and tracks the most likely restaurants and supply stores that you already make purchases from, adds in a few recommended suppliers, and creates fake receipts for you. Could it be more simple?

Just type in what kind of trouble that you are in, identify your business type and provide a few billing essentials and Receipt Faker does the rest. In no time at all you’ll be receiving fake printable receipts in your email inbox as if you were actually honest.

Best of all, Receipt Faker is tax deductible!

The Secret Power App

Ah, the power of mysterious hand gestures! They are the ultimate way to get the upper hand in any conversation. By priming the pump with the perfect hand gesture you won’t need old fashion techniques like words and charisma to land that job you’ve always wanted or woo the lady you’ve been oogling at the office. The eyes may be the window to the soul but the hand is the gateway to satisfaction when it comes to meeting people for the first time.

To dominate any situation with the wave or your hand, it’s as simple as one, two, three:

1. Choose from our easy-to-use dropdown menu of various targets and situations that best match yours
2. Quickly practice the animated hand gestures that appear on your screen to maximize conversation dominance
3. Approach your mark and enjoy your new long term relationship, job, pay raise or cheap sex

It’s that easy!

Scratch ‘N Sniff Pyramid Scheme

Congratulations, you may have just lost $6.99 on this app, but you’re about to be rich. You see, your friend who recommended it just walked away with a cold, clean $1.99 dollar bill and now it’s your turn. Drive your friends crazy with this practical joke. Your friends will grind their fingernails to bleeding nubs before they figure out that they, like you, bought into a technological hoax…and when they do, it’ll be too late because you too will be $1.99 richer!

Here’s how it works:

Set the trap by having a stooge confirm the sweet aromas coming from a strawberry displayed on your iPhone’s screen as they scratch their fingernails across it. Swipe to another fruit or to an Oreo Cookie and repeat the process. “Oh my God in heaven, this smells exactly like an Oreo! I can almost taste that creamy sugary filling between two chocolate cookie wafers!” Anyone who sees this cunning con pass between the two of you will want to experience the goodness for themselves.

Now that you have everyone’s attention, lure the “victim” further by letting him try. But only when the lemon is visible. When he scratches the screen, he will smell lemon because you have secretly smeared juice on the phone earlier.

Then abruptly take your iPhone back and make up a reason to leave, but not before telling the victim the name of the app (Scratch-N-Sniff Pyramid Scheme) and your full name.

When the victim goes to buy the app, he or she will be asked for the name of the person who referred the app and you will make a cool $1.99 in the process. This is the joke that keeps on giving!
