There’s an App for That

Speaking of being social… some clever fellows created BroApp so guys can automatically send love notes to their sweethearts. So far it’s only for Android devices, and according to CNET’s review the Google App store rated it “low maturity”.

Do you think it’s just a big joke? If so, do you think it’s funny? I did.

    I do think that it is a useful gadget for all those too busy for romancing types on whose behalf these messages can be sent automatically! I only hope that it does not goof up and send wrong messages to wrong addresses.

    Funny? Yes indeed.

    I have to agree I do find it quite humorous. Like you, certainly something I would not entertain but…. that opinion on my part surely has more to do with my age than the perhaps the application. It does remind me however of something I had published in the local paper here a few years back regarding the art of love letters. I’ll have to post that on my blog here in the near future. 🙂

    It’s not His voice but BroApp’s, so it doesn’t count for much. The cheery thoughts are cute & funny tho’.

    I think it’s wonderful. They may want to change the name if they don’t want it to be confined to the gay market though.

      Here the term bro doesn’t mean a gay guy. One definition from the Urban Dictionary says:

      An alpha male idiot. This is the derogatory sense of the word (common usage in the western US): white, 16-25 years old, inarticulate, belligerent, talks about nothing but chicks and beer….

  5. Cathy in NZ says:

    Bro in NZ is more like “cuzzie” – and often used in certain groups of males – but not “gay” that’s for sure….btw a “cuzzie” is a little like a cousin and you can have many more than those related to you…

    I think the voice over is very manly, low and growly-like…a real tough man trying to touch (or make the tough Bro more like) the feminine bro 🙂

    But then Bro would be more like the guy who still wants the little lady, but he would rather be down at the boozer with his mates, maybe watching the All Blacks kill the Aussies at Rugby!

    Jean, I don’t know whether to laugh or to cry! Are you calling me a Casanova too busy to romance?

  7. Audra E says:

    Yes, I laughed.
    Then second thoughts kicked in. I began to identify with the women, and felt disgusted with “low-maturity” males. If they disappeared, just think of how many soldiers around the world would disappear, maybe we’d even have fewer wars.

    LOLOL!
    seriously???
    i think the guy sounds more like gildersleve. well.
    it’s underlined in red meaning i’ve spelled it wrong.
    the marine has an old classics radio thingy that we listen to on long trips.
    all the ancient radio classics from the 30’s i think. so much fun!
    and that guy sounds EXACTLY like gildersleeve. still underlined.
