NEW YORK, June 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — Citizens driven to the ends of their ropes by life's petty nuisances finally can vent to their hearts content with the free, easy-to-use iPhone app, SoANNoYING, which provides a platform for anonymous commiseration. SoANNoYING users can share their annoyances, with photo, video, and text – from endless post office lines, celebrities, and horrific roommates, to dysfunctional appliances and undisciplined babies hollering in restaurants.

To engage its users, fellow ANNoYEES will rate your post as they browse annoyances, follow one another, commiserate or offer advice in the comments section. Additionally, the app features the ANNoY-A-GRAM: this popular feature lets users tell loved ones – or not-so-loved ones – about their frustrating habits anonymously via an e-mail telegram-style alert.
"Many of us are bored with 'Liking' things online," says founder G. Tyler Barnet, "we need a place to post the things we dislike – the poignant or comical observations that grind our gears. The point of SoA is to be productive about complaining and ultimately move past the petty. It's not about hate – it's about truth." For example, the ANNoY-A-GRAM is our way to alert people – without them knowing it is you – to things they are doing or not doing that drive you nuts, without the risk of confrontation."
SoANNoYING's ANNoY-A-GRAMS have helped users navigate the delicate art of telling coworkers to stop bringing smelly lunch bags to the office or let your boss know he needs to pop a mint. Afterwards, SoANNoYING automatically forwards along their response.
The SoANNoYING App is an on-the-go tool to get things off your chest: while on the train, dog-walking, at restaurants, waiting in line, or anywhere you want to snap a pic or video, describe it, and let it out to the world in real time.

SoANNoYING was produced by Tyler Barnet and Scott Kochlelf, co-creators of the Android txt-book app, which transforms text-message conversations into storybooks. Visit www.soannoying.com.
