An app that brings to your smartphone a completely (not) interactive text-only story (or possibly ZX81 type graphics, only horizontal lines rendered very slowly).

In glorious monochrome it tells the classic tale of of how the Greco-Trojan war was inadvertently started with Helen selecting the wrong "Paris" on the navigation app of her tablet, while driving a chariot.

I'm not getting caught up in all that "Yeah, but did Homer actually write it?" bit, just because it doesn't mention doughnuts at any point is not incontrovertible proof one way or the other.

Suspect very, very early ver of Apple Maps.
