Definitely a joke. Check the testimonials:

"My first three wives divorced me because I always forgot anniversaries. I am pretty sure my fourth marriage will work thanks to the Girlfriend app?" Mark, 22

22 yr old who's been married 4 times? ;)

"I just drove by a brown barn and it reminded me of your eyes."

Etc...

Now an app that let me take the grunt work out of managing multiple girlfriends might be worth some money.

What I want is an ex-girlfriend tracker that will tell me when she updates her Facebook photo so I can see what the new guy looks like.

(I'm assuming by "joke" you meant "not a real app.")

So you want the news feed?

I like the sound of this. I know it sounds silly and, really, you shouldn't need this when you're starting off a relationship, but I often forget to make these sort of little communications efforts with my wife and it'd be cool to be reminded of them.. so "Wife Keeper" might be better, lol :)

A friend of mine always dreamed of having a similar app, but where you could keep track of multiple girlfriends. More importantly, you could select in the app which one of them you were with at any given time, which would remove any trace of the others from the contacts, texts, and recently called list.

That would be worth 99 cents...

We're half way there, but it's missing the automated messaging aspects of girlfriendapp. I wonder how girlfriendapp displays who the messages are from, AFAIK the SDK doesn't allow for tight integration with SMS. Nevertheless, ideas are stirring for future features. :)
