Take a look at your mobile phone and see how many applications you have installed. Probably more than 20 and 30. There is no doubt that mobile applications help us in a multitude of circumstances. Communication and social networks are the ones that take the cake, followed by productivity. However, over time, app stores have seen some of them arrive completely useless. Yes, developed without any motivation or utility. In this article we are going to review which have been those that have stood out for their virtue of being useless. And there are more than you think, some of them even having a very high economic cost.
These are the most useless mobile apps
We start with a classic, iCuenca. Available in the App Store, its only task is to know where this beautiful Castilian capital is located. Despite not being of much use, it has millions of downloads and several years of experience. The latest versions come with an improvement, it is possible to target Cuenca, but also other cities in our geography. From Cádiz to Parla through Antequera.
Ghost Radar Classic is another one of those apps that doesn’t make much sense. Available in both the Apple and Android stores, it aims to alert you to the presence of paranormal activity near you. To begin with, the only thing you are going to waste is your time. Fortunately, it is free, but no mobile is capable of detecting presences, if they exist. You can try it for entertainment, but don’t expect much more.
In the ranking of the absurd is La Hora De Tu Muerte , an app that you can also download for any mobile. It is not suitable for people who are too squeamish or gullible. It is responsible for showing you in a countdown the time you have left to live. In spite of everything, it has good evaluations, but we are not going to tell you any longer. You can see it here on Android and for Apple devices.
One of those applications that has the honor of having been in the App Store for 13 years is I Am Rich LE. At the time it cost € 799, although its price is now much more moderate, you can download it for € 9.99. Its function is totally absurd, since the only thing it tries to do is bring you all the energy possible to make you become a rich and successful person. What there is no doubt is that its developer has been lining up for all the dupes who have acquired it.
Hold the Button is also one of the classic applications that has been leading the ranking for a long time. It is available for both Android and Apple devices, and all it does is show you a button on the screen so you can press it for as long as possible. His claim is none other than that, keep you with your thumb pressing the screen. The height of nonsense.
The apps you have on your mobile and they don’t work for you
It is not necessary to download totally useless applications, you have them for a long time on your same device. It is about those that at the time made certain sense, but that have already gone down in history thanks to the different advances. One of them is the calculator application, with the development of voice assistants they have stopped making sense. You can even put the operation to be carried out in the browser bar and you will have the result immediately.
The same goes for QR code readers. Check if you have any installed on your mobile, if so, you can remove it without any problem. Currently you can read the QR code you need by pointing directly with the camera. The improvement in the cameras has also led to the fact that it is not necessary to have a scanner installed on your mobile. If you use your device’s camera, you can later make all the changes you want, even converting the photo to PDF format.
How to clean apps on your device
If you pick up your phone and take a look, you’ll see that there are more apps than you use frequently. It is the right time to perform a cleaning and eliminate those that you do not use frequently. An app that you haven’t used in a month should be off your phone. It is occupying a space that can be useful for other tasks, and if you need it again, you only have to download it and nothing else.
For those users who have space problems on their device, our recommendation is to remove the social media applications. You can always consult them through the browser, but, to give just one example, the developers of the Facebook application generate very heavy updates , over 200 MB. Assess whether it is worth continuing to have them with you. It doesn’t make much sense to keep apps that you once downloaded but no longer use on your phone. The space they are occupying can come in handy for storing photos and videos.
