Top 10 most wanted apps (that don’t exist… yet)

It is not many years ago that the word “app” had very little meaning to most of us. However, when Apple launched its “app store” in 2008 the word soon became a global term and in 2010 it was listed as “Word of the Year” by the American Dialect Society. Today the world of smartphones and tablets would not be what it is without is billions of apps.

According to a forecast by the International Data Corporation (IDC) in 2010[1], the market for mobile applications will continue to accelerate as the number of downloaded apps is expected to increase to 76.9 billion in 2014.

With such a massive number of apps, here at Artificial Solutions we thought that there can’t be many more apps for developers to come up with. However, curious to find out what types of apps people still miss we carried out an independent survey to discover what are the ultimate apps that you, the people, would like to have – here we go:

1. An app that works as a weather radar for local rainfall

2. An intelligent reminder app that learns your habits

3. An app that creates more hours in the day

4. An app to make an appointment with the doctor

5. An app that knows what you have in your pantry, knows your buying habits and as you walk around the supermarket reminds you what to get off the shelf

6. An app that notifies when you’re going in the wrong direction but haven’t got navigation turned on

7. An app that permits you to switch off your phone depending on your Geo-position if you request it, e.g. in a cinema or theater

8. An app that turns your smartphone into a car or bike

9. An app that suggests what kind of dinner you  can make with the ingredients that you have in the kitchen

10. An app which lets you fly

Personally, my favorite app would be number 3, but I think that app can only exist indirectly. For example, if I could have a really clever personal assistant on my smartphone that would help me with certain tasks, then at least I might save 3 hours doing mundane things and rather spend my time playing with my other apps.

What would be your favorite app?
