24 Fake Apps We Made Up For Our Blog

There’s a fake app for that

We’re proud to have a pretty prolific editorial calendar for Relate, the Appboy digital magazine. In any given week, you can read up to five new stories on mobile marketing, customer engagement, growth hacking, company culture, and more.

And since most of our how-to articles on mobile app marketing come with visual examples, we have made up a lot — and I mean, a LOT — of fake apps to illustrate those concepts.

Some of them are pretty hilarious.

Take a look at our list below, and click through to see how the app was featured in a hypothetical mobile marketing campaign. Which one’s your favorite? Got any ideas for fake apps that you wish existed in the world? Leave us a comment and let us know!
