According to TIME, after years of customers complaining online that soft-serve machines are too frequently out of service, there is now an app that aims to tell you whether or not you’ll be able to satisfy your frozen treat cravings before you arrive at your local fast food place.
Dubbed Ice Check, the app — which is available for Apple iOS devices — allows users to search for their nearest fast food joint and then shows them the status of its ice cream machine in real-time. And if you happen to be the unlucky customer who discovers a machine is down, you can save your fellow ice cream lovers some trouble by marking the location as “off.”
Next time someone working says their ice cream machine is broken, cough cough "not cleaned", here is to saving you the trouble of skipping that fast food place!
