So, it could be something like: \u201d\u02dcshould I wear this luminous green tie to work?\u2019 (answer: no) or \u201d\u02dcshould I go and challenge a bear to a wrestling match?\u2019 (answer: it depends on how often you\u2019ve been to the gym in the past couple of months. But probably no).<\/p>\n<p>After everyone has voted, you get a tally at the end and that\u2019s pretty much it. You can choose to take or ignore the advice.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><b>Why is it surprisingly easy? <\/b><\/h3>\n<p>The internet has removed most of our need to think about stuff, so why not remove decision making too? In all seriousness, it is good to be able to canvas opinion &#8211; especially from the general public, who tend to be a bit more honest than your closest friends.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><b>How will it change your life? <\/b><\/h3>\n<p>You\u2019ll never have to make an awkward decision in your life again. Wooju can also save you from some potentially embarrassing scenarios; it\u2019s a great app to use after you\u2019ve had a few (as long the people you\u2019re asking haven\u2019t had a few too\u201d\u00a6).<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><b>Any downsides?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>You\u2019re essentially relying on the kindness of strangers to make the right decision for you. And knowing how mischievous people on the internet can be, we\u2019re not sure that\u2019s a great idea\u201d\u00a6<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Download Wooju on iOS\" href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/gb\/app\/wooju\/id787131926?mt=8\">Download Wooju on iOS<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to check out our own Surprisingly Easy app too!<\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Download musicMagpie on iOS\" href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/gb\/app\/musicmagpie\/id416562292?mt=8&amp;ls=1\">Download musicMagpie on iOS<\/a><\/strong> | <strong><a title=\"Download musicMagpie on Android\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=uk.co.musicMagpie\">Download musicMagpie on Android<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every Thursday, we bring you an app that\u2019ll make your life easier.
