Most of us can sympathize with the feeling of having a looming deadline, huge document to prepare, and the need to work on it every moment possible. Now, many word-based apps are allowing iPhone users to access their documents from anywhere, maximizing the time that can be spent on such projects (and thus minimizing the amount of gray hairs grown).

While I applaud the noble developers, I wonder if an app specifically designed to make you happy is actually necessary to accomplish said goal. First, acknowledging that you need an app to make you happy seems like it would be a blow to the ego more than anything. Second, after pondering the idea of apps and happiness for a while, I realized that many apps out there actually indirectly function to make you happier.
