Skiver allows users to select how many days off they fancy, delivers a selection of plausible illnesses and even lists symptoms to ensure the user has a full cover story to spin to their boss. There is even a pre-filled email function that can be sent directly to a user’s boss to inform them of their absence.

Skiver, the latest app from Gateshead based app developer Gospelware, allows users to come up with the perfect cover story to fool their boss into thinking they are genuinely ill and even suggests activities to fill a ‘sickie day’.

Lying to your boss has never been so easy thanks to Skiver.
