This is so, so dumb. Who actually shakes their phone in anger? Very few people. How many people accidentally trigger things like this in the course of everyday usage? Everyone.

Google Maps has the same thing and it just strikes me as some cutesy feature a developer thought would be funny, but is actually very annoying.

Having an app developer available to be shaken in anger was deemed impractical.
