Random iPhone App of
the week: Farts do talk, but what are they
saying? Find out with the
Fart Code app. Created by
GS&P BETA Group, the in-house developers at
Goodby Silverstein & Partners, the app promotes kid's health education. Time to get smart from your fart. Once downloaded, the app allows users to scan a bar code on anything in
the grocery store. The app determines the actual ingredients in that item, noting any ingredients that are known to cause gas. An algorithm uses those ingredients to determine the level of toxicity on
a "fartometer" and produces the appropriate fart noise and vibration to illustrate how one's digestive system would process the ingredients. Once the noise is created, you can share it via text
message (complete with fart emoji) and social media, where friends can then click on a link to hear it. Talk about oversharing.
Download the app here.
