When it comes to creators of apps, there goal is to get you to buy them. The

more people download these apps and see the advertisements, the more money the

developer of the apps makes. The thing is, what makes you purchase these apps. It's

not the look. It's not the actual gameplay. It's what your told about the game. Not only

by friends but the developer him or her self. Now, weather that's true Or not, well

that's the making of a good or a bad app.

There have been countless games that I have downloaded because my friends

haven't asked me to. I have defiantly been disappointed many of times. Games are never

as good as they are hyped. With personal experience, a bad game is one that you

never play. Most games are just like this.

Flappy bird. The name speaks for its self. This game took over every smart

phone owned by anyone who knew how to use it. As we had so much fun playing it

for hours on end, the same couldn't be said for the creator. He received death threat

after death threat. There was one story about a boy killing his little brother for beating

his score. Weather it was true or not, well, that was enough for him to take it down. A

game that can cause people to become so hostile, that is another characteristic of a

bad game.

Finally, the most overlooked parts of bad apps, realism. Not the graphics parts

but the actual game part of the game. When you have an app like defeat the streak,

where you have to guess when someone is going to get a hit and you win five million

dollars, where's the realism. There is none. No body is going to get that right. Even if

they do, will they really get what they are promised.

There are a lot of bad apps out there. There not hard to find, you just have to

look past all the money, all the graphics, all the hype. Once you do, you probably

won't buy a new one any time soon.
