There are seven apps you should never install. Throughout the history of mobile applications, several have been developed for strange or obscure purposes. Today, almost all of them are illegal and have been removed from app stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Randonautica<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"-\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Created by Joshua Lengfelder, Randonautica acts as a free entropy generator. It requests your location, invites you to focus on an intention, and then provides random coordinates. The choice to explore them is yours. Lengfelder describes his creation with a mystical tone, suggesting it could invoke unusual occurrences\u2014or might just be a set of random directions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secret SMS Replicator<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"-\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This app, which has since been removed by Google, allowed the espionage of SMS messages on any device where it was installed. Once activated, SMS Replicator would send copies of all messages to whomever installed it. Developed by DLP Mobile, it remained invisible on the spied phone\u2014no icons or signs revealed its hidden presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AndroDumpper<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"-\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) protocol found in many routers has several security flaws. AndroDumpper exploits these vulnerabilities to crack Wi-Fi passwords, whether the network uses WEP, WPA, or WPA2 encryption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RIP VIP<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"-\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

RIP VIP is an app that notifies users of the deaths of notable individuals. It offers breaking news headlines, priority alerts, and even allows users to start conversations by sharing the news. It\u2019s pitched as a connection to the beyond\u2014anywhere, anytime\u2014with discreet notification settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spirit Story Box<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"-\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Built on the belief held by some paranormal enthusiasts that spirits can influence sequences of random data, Spirit Story Box attempts to detect or communicate with the supernatural. The scientific community rejects the existence of spirits, and there is no evidence supporting the app\u2019s effectiveness.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendation<\/em><\/strong>: \u201cAmeca\u201d, the surprising Robot that imitates Human gestures<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Girls Around Me<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"-\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Presented as a way to discover attractive people nearby, Girls Around Me displayed a map of nearby women using their FourSquare check-ins. It revealed their names, surnames, public Facebook photos, and exact locations. The app was canceled amid reports of harassment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Situationist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"-\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Situationist encourages users to interact with strangers and live out spontaneous experiences orchestrated by the app. Users upload their profiles and choose a desired experience\u2014like a hug or a compliment\u2014and wait for another nearby user to fulfill it in person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
