The "Angry GF" app is designed to help men who are lost in the depths of female anger. It promises access to a treasure trove of wisdom that will save the relationship from ruin. Among other things, the app offers a "Soothing Companion" that assists in "soothing" the girlfriend. It is noticeable that each question is followed by numerous lines of text with reasons why the girlfriend might be angry.

Tapping on the broken heart in the menu loads a selection of possible missteps by the masters of creation:

  • Being late
  • Forgetting Valentine's Day
  • Lost money on the stock market
  • Not responding to chat messages
  • Ignored a call
  • Rescued mother from the river first
  • ...

In the free version, you can play through one scenario. If you want more, you have to pay more than 7 euros per week.

Efforts are evaluated by a "forgiveness bar", which is initially set between 0 and 100 percent. There are 10 messages left to say the right things and appease the AI girlfriend. However, just one answer is not enough. With numerous confessions of guilt and offers to make amends in the form of "cook dinner", "buy flowers" or "massage your feet", you quickly reach full marks.

Influencer and app inventor Emilia knows how to condition men. She uses a gamification approach to keep them attentive, as she explains in an interview with Cybernews: "I would say it's like a sport, and men want to win. They will do anything to score points and win".

The idea for the app came from Emilia's own experience. "I just thought, I'll make something that can actually help men communicate with their girlfriends because they don't really listen to women," says Emilia. There appears to be a need for it somehow, as more than 1,000 desperate men have downloaded the app.
