Don't forget all the apps that do nothing!

Am amazing example I saw recently was a startup whose app supposedly helped you break your monthly rent payment into two smaller biweekly payments, except all it did was hold on to part of your midmonth paycheck until the end of the month so you couldn't spend it.

The best part is that was positioned as a way to help low-income people who suck at budgeting, but you had to pay $20/mo for the privilege of using it.
