Hi-Tech Heartlessness

In a bad relationship and too chicken to call it quits? This one is for you.

In a bad relationship and too chicken to call it quits? This one is for you. Breakup Text, an app now available on iOS, is for the truly heartless. No more painful phone calls and humiliating emails. All you have to do is download the application, activate it by clicking on the ominous ‘Begin the End’ blinker and it will do the needful—after you answer a few questions such as whether you’re breaking with a serious or casual partner. The app also allows you to specify a reason from among a few options. And then it sends a text, breaking up on your behalf.
