At its heart it is a simple app that allows you to ask a question and have the community answer it. Or, you can simply stick to answering questions yourself. Replies to questions are anonymous, and it is this which I feel leads to An-Quests biggest problem. The amount of racist or sexist questions is staggering. There are also a great deal of questions of a sexual nature, the kind that you would expect to be asked by a 14 year old boy, who has just had the underwear section of the Kays catalogue discovered under his bed. For an example of what I talking about, simply enter any Xbox Live Halo match before bedtime on a school night.

I love that you can use this as a quick straw poll, or canvasing opinions or ideas. I hate the rampant immaturity of it, and I do wonder if things would improve if there was a reporting mechanism, or some form of moderation.

The app does have a couple of other serious issues. Its one of the buggiest apps I've found, and it has a nasty habit of scrambling text on the 'your questions' page. I'm willing to stick with it though as it can be a highly amusing little waste of time.
