Right, so it appears to be an app where you're timed on how long it takes you to press a button twice (start and then stop). Once you've been given a time the screen displays a humorous story about how slow you are ("Once it took you so long to get out of bed that it was bedtime again").
I know joke apps iFart are popular, but I'll pass.

Fair enough. But do you think it could tap into the same market as the other joke apps? What would it take to tap into the same market as the other joke apps?

I posted a non-iTunes link above. It's in the genre of joke apps. Sorry about it being a paid app -- I can send out free promo codes if anyone is interested (my HN username at gmail.com). I am more interested in feedback and reviews than sales here.

The app is an experiment to figure out what makes people buy things, to figure out what people want. I know how to write unit-tests and to write code, but I have no idea how to complete the outer loop -- to create something that people would eagerly buy. The app represents a shot in the dark to figure out this space. If you have comments or ideas about what direction to take this in, feel free to share.
