This awesome phone app is basically a game that tests to see if friends are on the same wave-length by seeing how long it takes for two people to say the same word. The name of this [fun connection building app](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doubles-social) is 'Say the Same Thing' and was designed by members of the band OK Go.

To play this [wave-length testing game](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crossplay) each player says a word and then it's up to them to think of something that connects those words. The game continues until both players say the same connecting word. This game essentially gets friends to finish up each other's sentences, which is pretty adorable. People can play this app with friends or [random strangers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strangely) so if your friends are busy, you can still play the game.
