Two Smartphone Apps that NEED to be made NOW!

I'm typing from English class, so this is going to be a quick post. Also, I can only type in HTML instead of blogger's compose tool, so sorry in advance for any formatting errors. ANYWAY, I keep looking around the app store for a few apps that I can't find, and just have so much utility it's hard to believe they don't exist. There are probably 10 I want made, but because I get out of class in 28 minutes, here are my top two. 1)IRS Tax App I know this sounds seriously boring, and it's not going to be totally useful for people filing complicated small-business returns or PEOPLE WHO DON'T PAY INTO THE SYSTEM AND RECIEVE BENEFITS ANYWAY... But seriously guys. How many millions of 20 and 30-somethings file simple federal tax returns each year?? And how much money do we waste on paper and crap? All you would have to do is check a few boxes, fill in a field with your after-tax income and click send. Then you would take a screenshot of your "tax forms sent" sheet so the government can't screw you and pretend you never filed returns. The government likes screwing its citizens. I'm dead serious. April 15? No problem, I'll just take out my smartphone... A college computer science intern at the IRS could whip one of these up in 10 minutes at no cost (and a lot of savings and convenience) to the taxpayer. Old people would hate it, but they can suck it up, because I'm paying for their retirement! 2) Trap Music Soundboard Soundboards are a great way to interject into conversations using your favorite comedian or funny foreign accent. It's only short little soundbites,and trap music has a whole lot of those. I'm dead serious, this doesn't exist yet. A quick "WHAT", "Damn, son, where'd you find this?" or "Trapaholics- real trap SHIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiiittttt" would add laughs and flavor to any conversation. And yet, where is this laughter? Caught at the back of the mind of a Web design-music double major. What apps do you want to see made that don't exist yet? Leave a comment below.
