You know when you’re sitting on the bus and the dude next to you whips out his iPhone and is all up on, like, the “Objectify Women And Then Earn More Than Them In The Workplace For Doing The Same Job” app? Because somehow there are like a lot of those somehow? Bitch Magazine has some apps that you can open up passive-aggressively next to them, because they are awesome and also For The Ladies! (Aside from period tracker apps, obvs, which are also like the best. Bitch recommends Period Tracker for iPhone, and My Period & Ovulation is apparently well-reviewed for Android.) Of particular interest may be The Gay History Project app.
THIS COULD BE YOU
Enjoy! People without smartphones: sorry!
So iPad apps like that Gay History app also work on the iPhone? I feel like an 80 year old. What’s a smartphone.
a phone that has better computing ability/capability than a regular internet-enabled phone
Haha, I was just exaggerating. Don’t think I haven’t held a shiny iPhone in my hand and wished that my phone wasn’t a cheap plastic brick.
damn, this is now a little embarrassing on my part..
It’s cool. That is a thing that I would probably do.
this is amazing. ten points.
Thank you. Generally I just use gay male friends’ phones to go on grindr. Now I will have a look at these.
Y U RACIST AGAINST ANDROID?
Seriously, though, anyone know of any interesting feminist Android apps?
I WILL THINK ABOUT THIS
Damn you beat me to it, I was all ready to go all CAPS LOCK ANDROID ANGRY, but now I’ll just sit back and wait for Taylor to tell me what to download. (btw Alarm Clock Plus, which you rec’d to someone on Formspring is THE. GREATEST. ALARM CLOCK APP. EVER. Thankyou.
An iPhone app to track my period? There truly is an app for everything. Not sure I need to use my phone to keep up with my lady biz though.
Indeed. I’d rather keep track the old fashioned way, scratching lines in my prison wall.
I generally keep track with the tried and true “Why do my tits feel like they’re going to explode? Oh yeah, period’s coming in a day or two.”
I use the “I’m crying from a random tv commercial. Oh yeah, period’s coming.”
Does it do anything useful such send you reminders a few days before like “Time to go buy some tampons lady”, or “Wear black pants today, just in case”. These are things I could really use.
I have the iPeriod app and it’s pretty great. It has calendars and you can track moods/feelings, etc. You can also get a moon calendar app to keep track of your period & sync it to the moon!
Autostraddle needs to make an app!!!
1. Call it ‘Lesbian Porn’.
2. Charge $0.99c for it.
3. You’re welcome.
I concur! There’s some sketchy thing that used to come up on the Android Market search for an app that claimed to be AS related but it never worked for me and probably infected my phone w/some horrible interwebs disease.
