Users can pick from a selection of "Bro powered" messages, that can then be personalized to match a user's personality
Examples of "Bro powered" messages:
Hey babe, how was your day?
Wow, what a day, how was yours?
Miss you :)
See you tonight darl
And for creative "Bros," messages can also be crafted from scratch.

“BroApp is a tool to help Bros out,” Australian developers Factorial Products Ltd. said in a release
“We know that people are busy and sometimes forget to send enough love to their partners. We invented BroApp so that even if you forget to manually write a message, your love is still communicated. BroApp provides seamless relationship outsourcing.”

Tom and James, the two developers who declined to reveal their full names, say the idea came to Tom when he noticed his girlfriend became annoyed if he forgot to text her.

The makers claim that "BroApp leverages advanced algorithms to intelligently determine the best time to send a text message to your girlfriend".

Available for purchase at the Android Play Store, the app takes a number of precautions so that girlfriends won't become suspicious
The app comes with a "girlfriend WiFi detector," preventing automated messages from being sent while a user is at their sweetheart's home.

And if the user has recently texted or called his girlfriend “in real life”, or she has recently contacted him, texts scheduled by the app are cancelled so as not to arouse suspicion that he is using an automated service.

The creators claim the app also comes with a “girlfriend safety lock down” built in
“When BroApp detects an inquisitive girlfriend attempting to open BroApp on your phone, it sends that lovely lady to a list of gifts you were 'planning to buy' her,” the FAQ section of the app's website explains.

Reaction to the app has so far been mixed, with some on Twitter suggesting there are “some things you shouldn’t outsource to technology” while others called the idea “genius”.

The developers say a version of BroApp will soon be available for iPhone, but with no option of selecting a boyfriend, gay men and heterosexual women will be forced to compose and send their own romantic texts for the foreseeable future.
