Tourists in your way, can’t find a happy hour? Ever wish you had an app for that? Or better yet, a FamousDC T-Shirt?
Well here’s your chance for both. Win the first FamousDC t-shirt by submitting your ideas to our DC Dream App Contest. Here’s just a few (hilarious) app ideas that have come in from our readers:
Broken escalator finder – do we have to explain this?
Crosswalk light timer – tell you to speed up or slow down in order to make the next light just right.
Tour bus locator – find out quickly where you don’t want to be.
Fixie Finder – take a pic of a “fixie” and get feedback on year, make and model so you can be cool with your hipster friends.
Boss Locator – He’s in a cab on his way back, but how far away is he exactly? Can you sneak another 15 minutes of fantasy football research before he gets back.
Stinky Cab Index – app that relies on those taking cabs to “tag the cab” as stinky so others with the app know not to get in.
Albert Haynesworth Trade finder – helps find someone to take Haynesworth.
DC Food Truck Tracker – Real time food truck finder.
Tennis Shoe Swapper – this app let’s guys on the metro see what that hot chick would look like in heels instead of her frumpy tennis shoes she wears into work.
Suit Swapper – this app lets women see what a single guy would look like if he actually had a woman to dress him.
Manhole lid tracker – get real time updates on the location of recent manhole explosions that send their 75 lbs lids 200 feet in the air.
Vineyard Vine Meet up – Need to find someone in pink shorts with fish on them to hang out with quickly? Vineyard Vine Meet up app solves your problem.
Autotune Conference call App – Does this really need an explanation?
The DC Intern Fashion-Fail Detector – Clothes made for a frat party out of place in the halls of power? Never again!
Upgrade to The DC Intern Fashion-Fail Detector PRO – app will analyze pictures of your planned wardrobe and rate them on a scale of 0 to Seersucker Thursday.
FeedDC4Free – tracks free lunch briefings & receptions on the Hill. Bonus if it tells which R Chick-Fil-A!
“Walk Left or Stand Right!” – You know, for when the escalators on the metro are working.
