George Carlin 1.0.0.0

Have some good laughs with the inspiring jokes of a stand-up comedy legend
Every once in a while many users will be on the look out for some funnies just to pass time in an enjoyable manner and this prompted developers to create all sorts of apps that can bring various amusing things onto the device they are installed.

Windows Phone users can have a go at a simple application that offers them a fine selection of some of the most funny jokes of George Carlin, one of the referential stand-up comedians to date.

Uncomplicated and easy to use front-end

This app comes with a decent interface, that has at its core the quotations from Carlin and on the background different photos of the comedian. In case you want to see only the jokes displayed inside the main screen, you have the possibility to deactivate the background.

All the functions are conveniently placed inside the main menu that resides in the lower part of the screen, so they can be accessed instantly. Right above that area is the advertisement playground, where the banners may appear from time to time.

Enjoy a couple of hundred funnies and save your favorites

You can have the George Carlin quotations displayed randomly, with a simple tap on the dice button, or go through them in consecutive order by using the back and forward arrows.

In case you like any of the jokes enough to have them set aside in your personal collection, all you have to do is rate those items and they will be automatically included in the "Favorites" section from where you can manage them on the fly.

Share the funny

The utility makes it possible for you to easily distribute the citations in several ways. Thus, you can have them sent via email or inside an SMS, or should you allow this app access to your account, have them published onto your Facebook page.

There is a noticeable downside to this application and it is related to the function for saving the image backgrounds onto your phone, a feature that is unfortunately not working.

Bottom Line
Design / UI7
 

The looks of this app should be a lot improved, mainly because some photos are of a lesser quality and the quotation box is placed right in the middle of the screen, thus overlapping most pf the image.

Function7
 

There are many funny sayings of George Carlin inside this application, but considering the huge amount of material he brought to the public, the number of citations is very small. The extra functions are welcomed, but it would be great if all would actually work.

Security8
 

The utility requires access to some secure areas of the system like the owner and phone identities for no good reason.

Battery9
 

Thanks to a very small footprint on the system resources, this utility manages to keep the power consumption low.

Price9
 

For anyone looking for a quick and good laugh, this app is certainly suited, but the fans of George Carlin will surely yearn for more content than it is provided at this time.

Compatibility9
 

Most Windows Phone devices are ready to have this application up and running as it only needs version 7.5 and above of the operating system to be installed.
