The hypnotic power of a button

The list of Apps little or no use beyond wasting time is long and practically inexhaustible. A few days ago we talked about Ethan , a messaging application whose recipient is the developer of the App and that only serves to ask your opinion on everything we want. Well, there are even more absurd ones, as is the case with Hold by button . The objective of this application is none other than to quantify the time that we are able to hold down a button . When accessing it, a recreation of a fingerprint appears on the screen on which we must put our index finger. At that moment, a counter is activated. When you remove your finger, it stops and shows us a history where we can consult the previous marks during the last seven days. Nothing more. The fun thing about this App is that, after removing your finger, it encourages the challenge thanks to a simple but effective message: “ think that while you have released the button, there is someone else holding it down “. Few phrases are so capable of combining challenge and challenge to our ego. The record, according to data from the application itself, is an astonishing, and unrealistic, 6 days 23 hours and 59 minutes . Curious if competitions with friends are organized with it, but useless in terms of functionality. An excuse if what you want is wasting time , the so-called procrastination, but a danger at work and would be a candidate to spend the rest of your life on the last screen of our desktop applications, if not to be deleted shortly after downloading it. Hold the button is, due to its simplicity and low reward, capable of competing among the most absurd Apps in the markets with notable download success . We do not know if it is because of its absurd character or if it is because, as the developers themselves admit: it is a stupid game, share it with your friends . In any case, it has exceeded 50,000 downloads. We do not know if you are going to share it, not even if you are going to download this App but, be careful, even though it is absurd, it is a certainly addictive game.
