Want to Find Out if Your Friend is Really a Zombie? There’s an App for That

Zombie Survival Guide Scanner

It is always wise to keep the possibility of a zombie invasion open; it’s usually the people who don’t believe in zombies that are the first to be eaten. To make matters worse, they’re not only eaten, but devoured by the people they thought were their friends; and perhaps they were friends, before one couldn’t help but stalk their friend down and start feasting on their meaty arm.

Luckily, there is now an iPhone app that could possibly save your life in the case of a zombie attack. Max Brooks’ bestselling book The Zombie Survival Guide is now a free iPhone app.

The Zombie Survival Guide Scanner is an app from the Crown Publishing Group that uses the iPhone’s rear camera to take a picture of someone and “scan” their face to illustrate their infection rate. After all, it’s the people you know the best who are always trying to convince you that they’re not infected and then before you know it, they’re trying to eat you. With this app, you just scan their face and see if they’re truly an uninfected human who needs to accompany you out of town, or if you need to shoot them in the head.

All joking aside, this app is hilarious and will keep you occupied for hours, especially if you walk down a busy street and snap pictures of random people and see them get zombiefied right on your phone. It’s great to see more businesses, in this case Crown Publishing Group, developing apps that will go over huge in order to use it as a marketing tool to help build a book’s fanbase.
