Angry Tomato - New Social Activism App for iPhone

October 17, 2011 in Social Networking

[prMac.com] Silver Spring, Maryland - Leaping Bytes is pleased to announce Angry Tomato, a new social activism app for iPhone. It is a collaborative effort between Leaping Bytes and the Student Farmworker Alliance. Angry Tomato app was developed as a part of campaign on Change.org calling on supermarket chains to stop human rights abuses of farmworkers.

This tomato is angry. The farmworkers who harvested him received sub-poverty wages, were denied fundamental labor and human rights, and, in the most extreme cases, were forced to labor in the fields against their will in situations of modern-day slavery.

Angry Tomato app users are making activist art by throwing virtual tomatoes and a request for change across the storefronts of grocery chains that are failing to stand up for farmworkers. They can share their poster with friends on Facebook and Twitter, sending a powerful message to supermarkets that its time to end farmworker exploitation now.

App Features:
* Locate the nearest target supermarket
* Use your phone's camera to take a photo of your local store (or select from included stock photos)
* Customize your own poster by virtually throwing Angry Tomatoes at your store's photo
* Include your own message to encourage the corporation to sign on with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers
* Share your poster with your friends and with the corporation via Facebook or Twitter.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, 3/4G iPod touch and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.0 or later
* 11.9 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Angry Tomato 1.0 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Social Networking category.
