Self-described as “The World’s Dumbest App,” LookFor helps people find one another in crowded places through an incredibly simple (or dumb) mechanism–it turns a smartphone’s screen into a flashing, colored beacon. The app’s creators at Retroproof suggest it can be used to find people at crowded concerts, movie theaters, or large outdoor crowds, or it can be used to flag a taxi. LookFor is available for iOS and Android.
