APPS THAT
SHOULD EXIST.

This is the "Coming Soon!" part before we can legally hit you with a "But Wait! There's more!" Our idea: The simple apps that should be free is free. The apps that took more brain power than the last Kurt Darren song? Those will cost around the same price as a R29 airtime voucher but will give you way more to talk about than any loslappie or spinnekop.
Vote for your favourite and maybe we'll actually build it.
