I don't know about needing an app for everything, but this was at least creative. Saw it on FOX 5 Morning news today - someone made a federal shutdown countdown app that shows live operating status and up-to-the-minute news. At least someone will be making the shutdown into shutdown-ade!

No one involved needs an app. No one not involved needs anything at all. This is best understood as borderline wire fraud. Send me your money in exchange for something useless. Pet rocks were a better deal.

If it's anything like the OPM Alert app, then I'll pass. The OPM Alert app that is praised for being the best way to know if the work status is open or shutdown still shows the status as open lol.

Really? Mine doesn't. It lists it as "STATUS: DUE TO A LAPSE IN APPROPRIATIONS, FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS VARY BY AGENCY."

Seems to be correct to me.
