Punxsutawney Phil Gets His Own Android Application

Phil Punxsutawney Phil Gets His Own Android App, But will it Shovel Snow!

If you are like me, you are about as sick of Winter as you can possibly be. Currently I’m watching ice fall from the sky…it’s great. So will Punxsutawney Phil see his shadow tomorrow on Groundhog’s Day? Well with the way things are going, I don’t see us catching a break anytime soon and having an early Spring. However that doesn’t mean a groundhog can’t get their own app. The app “Groundhog’s Day,” promises to increase our contact with our friends and loved ones, with one more good reason to say hi and stay in touch. Groundhog’s Day the app allows you to send custom shadow messages to people in your contacts list, up to and after Groundhog Day. There is a countdown clock that counts backwards to the day and sends a pre-programmed text message with a Happy Groundhog’s Day! You can participate with the rest of the world in a special Groundhog’s Day poll, and track the poll results. Currently the App is free from Get Jar. However it doesn’t let you bitch that you are sick of Winter and would like Spring to come early.
