The Savage Love iPhone App (Is Made of WIN)

by Violet Blue on July 14, 2010

Now this is the kind of joy and delight the iPhone was made for: I’m pleased to tell you about the Savage Love iPhone App (fresh as of July 9)! Yay Dan Savage! I mean, who hasn’t wanted Dan in their purse? At their fingertips with sage advice about adult babies, Santorums, pegging and whimsy about the fobiles of straight sex? $1.99 is a paltry price to pay for an app that will bring far more uncomfortable giggles on your commute and enlightening sex phrases for your next awkward visit with the in-laws than, say, Words With Friends. It has all of Dan’s columns from the past 5 years (searchable by category) a question/answer of the day, all of the Savage Love podcasts, a collection of videos, and more. They told me an Android version is in the works, so it’s just a matter of time until I marry my Sprint EVO and name it Alejandro.

After reading your blog this morning, I downloaded the app and enjoyed listening to Dan on my commute to and from work – and during work (nothing makes database maintenance more enjoyable than sex talk buzzing in the ears). Thank you so much for the spotlight on Dan’s app!

Wow. I’m surprised Steve allows this in his store. He is, after all, trying to protect the world (at least the iOS world) from porn. Or, is he more focused on pictures and such? Glad an Android version is being worked on. That way there is at least 1 app store that won’t arbitrarily decide to nix this app in the middle of the night.

THIS alone is nearly reason for me to get an iPhone.
I don’t think there’s such a thing as too much Dan Savage.
