This hipster-optimised app wards off ghosts and saves pandas. But not really.


This hipster-optimised app wards off ghosts and saves pandas. But not really.

We’ve gotten pretty used to the standard landing page for any new app. Hand holding a flashy iPhone displaying the app? Check. A list of all the ways this app is going to change your life forever? Check.

At first glance, Yutuzo might look like a real app, but don’t be fooled. Take a closer look, and you’ll realise that it’s available on the “crApp store”, is great for scaring off ghosts, while also being hipster-optimised, and saves pandas. It also takes a swipe or two at social networking and the vintage filter-filled iPhoneography craze.

Yutuzo is the handy work of a UK-based designer, who goes by the name Visual Idiot, and while hilarious, also actually takes the chance to plug a good cause. Clicking on the app store button takes you to the donation page of the anti animal cruelty charity, the RSPCA. (Yes, we clicked).
