Some of the best apps in the world are apps that add incredibly complex functionality to our smartphones and tablets. These apps can often take months to develop, even with large teams building them. Then, every once in a while you come across an app that’s so painfully simple, you wonder why it hasn’t existed for years.

Such is the case with a new app for the iPhone and Android phones called LookFor, which is so simple that its creators call it the “world’s dumbest app.”

iOS 8 was a huge update for Apple’s mobile operating system. It didn’t include a big visual overhaul like iOS 7, but it likely included more behind the scenes updates than any other iOS update before it. One thing it did not include, however, was a substantial update to the notifications functionality in Notification Center on the iPhone and iPad.

Apparently all of the spy shots and insiders leaking information weren’t enough for Samsung. The brand new Galaxy S6 isn’t set to be officially unveiled until a press conference on March 1st, but we may have already seen the phone — and its Edge counterpart — several times. Most recently, we got our first clear look at renders that are said to be exact representations of both new flagship phone models.

Apple on Sunday released a new short video ad for the iPad Air 2, this time focusing on the tablet as a tool for music makers. Unsurprisingly, the ad was published right ahead of the 57th edition of the Grammy Awards, with Apple listing a special page dedicated to the new commercial on its website.
