S.M.T.H.

Extreme leaderboard fun that risks your phone for glory

S.M.T.H. (Send Me To Heaven) is one of the most outrageous games you can install: its core mechanic is simply throwing your phone as high as you dare, then watching the app record and rank your madness. It transforms a basic sports challenge—how high can you toss something—into a global competition of nerve and skill.

The concept is brilliantly simple. Using your device’s sensors, S.M.T.H. estimates the maximum height reached in each throw, then posts your score to worldwide, weekly, daily, local, and friends-only leaderboards. That constant stream of stats and rankings is the real hook: it’s frighteningly easy to get drawn into trying “just one more throw” to beat a rival or climb a national chart.

However, the thrill comes with very real risk. The developer is blunt about potential damage and injury, and for once the warnings should be taken seriously. This is a game that practically dares you to void your warranty. It’s strictly for adults, and even then only for those willing to gamble with their hardware.

In practice, the app works decently, but readings aren’t always perfectly precise. Rotating tosses or awkward catches can lead to suspiciously low or high numbers, which can frustrate competitive players. Customization is minimal, and even simple tasks like changing your nickname are clumsy, requiring a full reset.

S.M.T.H. is less about depth and more about a wild, conversation-starting stunt. As a novelty, it’s hilarious and oddly exhilarating, especially in a group of friends egging each other on. As a long-term game, its appeal is limited—and its cost, potentially, very high. If you value your device more than internet bragging rights, you may want to admire this one from a safe distance.
