Nothing more annoying on a hot summer day when you cruise to Mcdonalds for a McFlurry or cone just to discover that, once again, the ice cream machine at McDonald’s is broken.
Thanks to a New app called "ICE CHECK" you will know where not to go!
The aptly named Ice Check allows users to search for nearby McDonald’s restaurants while also revealing which of those locations has a working ice cream machine. The app allows users to change the restaurant’s status to either ‘on’ or ‘off’ depending on whether or not its ice cream machine is in service. If it is the location’s icon will appear pink, but if it’s not working it will appear grey.
Created by writer Raina McLeod, Ice Check was designed after she experienced the disappointment of one of McDonald’s machine’s not working, just when she got the urge for a soft-serve.
“I came up with the idea for the app around a year ago, after a late night Oreo McFlurry craving went unfulfilled due to the ice cream machine being down,” she told Buzzfeed.
The app is still pretty new and needs ice cream lovers from all over to join in. Since its a Community-based system it relies on your contributions to the database. So even if you're not stopping for ice cream on your trip, still ask! You could be helping out your fellow Ice Cream Entuthiest.
