Price: Free Score: 7/10 By Shaun Campbell
Fmylife.com has been providing a place to laugh at other people’s misfortune for several years.
If you’ve never been to fmylife.com – its basically a site that allows people to submit embarrassing or painful stories for all to see. Every story beings with “Today” and ends with “FML.” For example:
“Today, I had a going-away party because I am leaving the country forever. Out of the 130 people invited, 60 were a resounding “Yes! of course I will go!”. After paying $300 for everything needed at the party, 2 ended up coming. And left because nobody else was there. FML”
FML stories are catgegorized on the fmylife website under the following banners:
- Love
- Money
- Kids
- Work
- Health
- Sex
- Miscellaneous
The F-MyLife app from enormego is essentially just a reader for the online service. You can do all the things you can do on the website – read most recent FML’s, view comments, agree or disagree with FML’s, and view a random FML (shuffle). There is a planned update to allow users to contribute FML’s from their iPhone, but as it stands you can only view them.
Sadly, the “Sex” category is missing from this app – probably due to the prudish sensibilities of Apple’s App Store requirements, but there’s a lot of value to be found here all the same. And hell, its free.
It’s a solid little package, and will be that much better when you can add your own stories direct from your iPhone.
F-MyLife requires the 2.0 software update and is compatible with both the iPhone & iPod Touch.
