There is a new app out there getting QUITE a bit of press….
Name sound a little familiar? The rumor buzzing around the app has been that it was named after the pro-golfer Tiger Woods and his many now public texts to his many mistresses.

What does this app do?
Well it actually has a few functions:
If you are a user of the program, when you text someone else it makes that iPhone user download TigerText before receiving the message.
Once they have downloaded TigerText the recipient of the text can now read the message, but it is in the hands of the sender when this message will be deleted off of both of their phones. The sender can either choose to have the message delete immediately after it is read (60 seconds to read), after a certain amount of time or upon command.
In addition to this, it also can inform you when your texts are read (Much like BBM for BlackBerrys) with a paw print next to the sent text. Plus, like BBM you don’t have to give the person you wish to communicate with your actual phone number (in case they turn out to be a lunatic), you can just give them your TigerText username.
What would have happened if good ol’ Tiger had this app? Well, chances are he probably would have gotten busted one way or another, but this at least could have saved him some embarrassment over a few of those texts. But then again, there still would have been the voicemails….
Despite all of the evidence to prove the contrary, the founders of TigerText still claim the name was based upon the animal…
“Tigers are notoriously difficult animals to track. TigerTexts are difficult to track as well. Ninety-nine percent of what people want to keep private has nothing to do with cheating on a spouse or doing anything illegal…. ” said app founder Jeffrey Evans.
(Uh-Huh, Sure)
Whether it was meant to be based upon the pro-golfers recent indiscretions is still up in the air… We will let you decide
