iPhone app gives you a "Pocket Massage"
Pocket Massage ($0.99, App Store) is a new app that does away with the days of old. Why pay a masseuse to rub all that tension away when you could turn to your trusty iPhone instead?
The massage itself is expressed through the iPhone's built in vibrator, and can be set to either slow, medium, fast pulse or continuous rate.
The app has the refined feel of an oriental spa, with lacquered preference panes, paper dividing walls, and a dreamy soundtrack that will surely have you unwound. It's full of nice touches too, from the gong smash when you begin the massage to the sliding doors that fill the virtual pocket spa.
Definitely for the novelty more than anything else, this battery-draining app promises selectable music soundtracks in future versions.

literally translated, 幸せな終わり (pronounced: shiawase na owari) means "happy ending."
I wonder if anyone in charge of approving apps at the app store was able to read the Japanese text at the top of the page.

Too funny. I'm guessing this app gets pulled so buy soon.

you are correct! the original name of the application was Happy Ending but they thought it was inappropriate and rejected our app... twice. So, since we already have an application called Pocket Workout — why not Pocket Massage? It's consistent with our naming conventions.
that screenshot above is old, I accidently left them in the description when the app went live the first few hours.
In addition, there is a lot of consumer remorse b/c of this model and the search functionality is pretty useless. Ultimately, consumers are not traveling much further than the charts to seek new apps. That being said, this is a promotional tool for us that adds to a growing list of other applications we sell, 3 of which I think offer real value. It would nice if we could market apps outside of the AppStore but with Apple taking 30% — ROI on traditional marketing is really low.
ps. I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss the utility of a vibrating phone.
