## What is iSmell?

An amazing breakthrough! We've managed to get the iPhone and iPod Touch's speakers to recognize key molecules in the air* and detect whether there's some serious stankiness around, or if someone or something smells like a bouquet of flowers.

*Of course, we all know this isn't possible... but your friends, family, and other "marks" don't have to! Fool them into thinking the iPhone or iPod thinks they stink. Or give them a nice compliment... it's your choice.

REMEMBER THIS: The secret is in where you touch the screen. Press a hidden button near the bottom and few seconds later it'll tell that pretty girl how beautiful she smells. Touch it near the top and it'll tell your target they smell like a wet fart!

After you touch the hidden button, hold the device near your target. It'll "sniff" for a few seconds, play a warning sound. Show them the screen and in a moment they'll see and hear the "punchline".

Packed with funny sound effects and pictures, iSmell is tons of fun, and not quite like any other app on the store. Enjoy!

Tip: have feedback? Leave it at our support site (sillyapps.appspot.com) -- you'll get quicker results than posting a comment on the store. But be sure to rate the application here too. Thanks!
