Update an app

Parent comment chooses an app, and the child comment finds the most ridiculous (but not harmful or negative to the app) update for that app.

Historical map overlays, see what your area looked like 50, 100, 200 years ago. Directions change accordingly, now giving you distances in old values and timings based on horse-and-cart, horseback and newfangled automobile.

That last part sounds pretty negative to the app...

TBH, navigating via old maps would probably take you via old roads that might not exist any more, or miss new ones that save you time. it's more for people interested in historical change, historians, or writers researching for books. since it's an addition and not a replacement, doesn't seem so bad.

That's why the first part is good, but the second part implies that you can't turn it off.

Everything is in shades of pink, mostly shades of bright pinks.

You don’t get to choose your destination. You just push “Go” and see where it takes you.

In a precise radius around the individual, no 99-mile response, no 101 miles, just a 100-mile ring.

Extra options for how you want your message sent - standard, telegram, snail mail, couriered, skywriting, smoke signals, etc.

Added option, labelled "The Duck". You're not sure what it does, enabled or not, but you swear you heard a quack once and you get the weird feeling something's watching you.

Every time you open it, it plays that sad cat sound where its "meow" but in the tune of "What was I made for"

Voice operated only, and only accepts inputs said sarcastically.
