Smartphone App Ideas Anyone?

So I'm in my last semester of school with a job offer....and I have a ton of free time. So much that I really need something productive to do. I have programming experience and want to make a smartphone app - but don't know what to make. Any ideas?

I am self-taught so anything 3D or crazy advanced probably wont be possible. I do have web services experience though.

 

We all have that friend (or friends) who, when you show them a picture on your phone, they inevitably swipe left or right. Make an app that, when it's "toggled", either will not let those peeping idiots swipe left/ right, or will do something funny like take a picture of them automatically when they swipe and show that as the next picture.

Not sure if it's doable as an app though. I imagine it's definitely doable with rooted android + tasker app, but for iPhone as an app that can run on non-jailbroken phones... I'm not sure.

Haha this is a great idea! I hate when people keep swiping.

I've always thought this would be a good app. Actually can't believe it hasn't already been made.

Hate when you show someone a pic, and before you know it they've swiped 5 pics to the right, asking " who is this girl", "where was this pic taken", "how do you know these people"!!! Just look at the 1 pic I wanted to show you and give me my phone back!!!

 
adapt or die:

I'm working on developing an app that allows users to anonymously communicate to others within a tight gps proximity. They can post random thoughts or about things going on in that small radius. I'm hoping it catches on at college campuses.

Isn't that, in essence, Yik Yak?

 

Man I had something really good written here but I just realized that it's a legitimately solid idea that I might try to do. Anyways, good luck with the app making @OP.
