Crapptastic Aggregates The Best of The Worst in the App Store

I’m a firm believer that there must be something wrong with many developers who publish apps in the App Store. Creepy artworks and soundtracks, scary screenshots in the App Store page, insanely horrifying user interfaces.

Crapptastic is here to help you find the best of the worst in the App Store, in case you ever wanted to do that. Founded by @Digeratii (Josh Hellferich, also owner of popular website iPad Apps That Don’t Suck) Crapptastic “celebrates the hilarity that is the iTunes App Store”, and in a good way: while those screenshots piss me off when I see them in iTunes, Crapptastic somehow manages to make me laugh everytime.

I mean, Listen to the pig? Seriously?
