iGirlfriend: an App for the Hopeless & Deluded

iMaria is a virtual girlfriend app billed as your very own English play pal. But the developers struggled with the “hot Brit chick,”  concept seeing as the virtual girl is in fact embodied by Playboy model Maria Eriksson, who is Croatian. (More at her NSFW site.)

So, well, at least she’s great to look at, right? Sure, but a come-hither look and perma-tousled hair is about as far as you’ll get with iTunes enforced no-porn rules.

She’s been iDubbed to have a “cute English accent,” and your interaction with her hinges around some pretty banal activities: should she cook for you? Or should you take her out? You can then choose what you eat, too. She does look pretty suggestive peeling those potatoes for your English stay-at-home meals but is that’s about it.

The sauciest option by far is choosing to take iMaria to the beach with her sexy pals, but in the promo shot she’s wearing a cover-up that gives you a good idea what she’d look like in a full-body Spanx, if she needed one.

Sigh. They really need to lift the porn ban or stop approving these faux flirty apps that make the apps like the iHobo tamagotchi a lot more engaging.

iMaria, cleared for ages 12 and up, sells for $0.99 on iTunes.
