New app gets you back together with your ex
A NEW phone app restores failed relationships, its makers have claimed.  The software triggersÂ when a user is about to send a pathetic drunken text to an ex-partner and instead sets about winning them back by more effective methods, including breaking up any new relationship they have formed.n Programmer Stephen Malley said: âThe Manipul-8 app launches automatically when it detects overwrought misspelled texts such as âLief not worth livig without u!!!ân âIt sends aÂ witty, interesting and thought-provoking replacement message that is better than anything you could have come up with, causing your ex to wonder if they were right to split up with such an outstandingÂ person.n âClever messagesÂ are then sent at four-day intervals to prevent any stalkerish overtones.n âThe app then hacks your exâs browser to ascertain their interests, and arranges thoughtful gifts with touching but manipulative messages such as âLetâs just remember all the good times we had together xâ.ân Malley said the app detected whether an ex had a new partner, then planted seeds of doubt about the relationship by sending messages such as âIs Carl really your type?ân He added: âIf the app fails to detect a dumping, it gradually increases the level of character assassination, for example moving from âa bit dullâ to âcomplete tosserâ and eventually âpervertâ.ân
