flooded with negative messages almost immediately after downloading the app. >> in about like a minute or two i started getting like these hateful comments. it says nobody would care if you killed yourself. go kill yourself. i hate you because you are too happy with your life. >> pretty extreme right. donell says he still uses the app but only to spread positivity. the teenager plans to send compliments to people to combat the hatred. experts say because kids can only receive feedback through saharah by downloading it it's important for parents to know what apps children have on their phones. to this one here. imagine being accepted to the school of your dreams and then just weeks before class is set to begin you get a letter saying your admission has been revoked. that's exactly what happened to that as many as 499 students who thought that they would be attending the university of california irvine. officials say they reversed their decisions for the fall based on transcripts or grade issues and not because they overenrolled as some allege online. the chancellor says the offers were conditional pending final checks of records and some students didn't get their paperwork in on time. well, they also say anyone who feels the decision is unfair can appeal. so far more than 60 students have been readmitted for the fall semester. to this one, it just looks neat by itself. if you need help figuring out if someone is interested in you and have no shame, well, we have just the invention. you are looking at the ripple. the sparkling 10 tackle is the brainchild of four students from london's college of art. the glitter regadget which slides over the shoulders uses to cameras to sense who is eyeing on you. the gaze is then analyzed to determine if the person is interested based on how they looked at you. now, if the ripple finds the glance flirtatious it sends a sensation up your back. once you turn and face the person, it taps you on the chest so you know for sure who was looking. now if there's a mutual attraction the whole device shimmies and shakes. so, we're still waiting to hear when you can actually buy this wearable wing man and how much it will be so we'll stand it by for that part rick. >> keep us posted. thank you sharrie. let's get another check on the highways and byways for your monday. matt pelman back in the "action news" traffic center with an update. >> rick, several earlier issues on the traffic front kind of having a ripple effect on our evening commute leaving us with a not so sensational ride. as we look live at the vine street expressway, you're not shimmying or shaking very quickly on the eastbound side off the schuylkill on out to eighth street. you remember, that's where we had that suv in flames. now almost an hour ago. the fire's long out, the car has been towed away but it's still an extra slow go eastbound on the vine and westbound is also slow with a dv on the shoulder by the ben franklin parkway on-ramp. the phils game is over in south philadelphia. people are leaving the bank so northbound 95 is a little heavy, little extra heavy as you head up towards penn's landing and eventually the work zone at girard and we have extra southbound traffic here waiting to get on the walt whitman bridge. it's several reasons. we've got people heading home from the phils game but also an earlier crash along 42, southbound by 130 that's now gone. had one as well on 295 southbound approaching 42. that, too, has cleared. as has our wreck on the roosevelt boulevard northbound at grant avenue by miller's ale house now pushed out of the way. the crash i told you about on the northeast extension southbound between quakertown and lansdale is gone so everything is reopened there but all this week over by the lindenwold patco station i would avoid berlin road. a lot of milling and paving going on this week so the white horse pike or gibbsboro road would be alternates throughout the entire week. we'll check it again, sharrie and rick coming up in the 5 o'clock hour. >> thanks again matt. >> meteorologist adam joseph coming up with that exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast when we come back.

in fact right around independence mall and you can see the impatience. they're looking a little vesseled up -- shriveled up. it's going to be very isis lated -- isolated. these folks have the right idea. planting their feet in the sand in cape may. you can see all of that sunshine out there and it's a little bit of a breeze trying to come in off of the water and as you can see the seas are calm right now but those see seas could start to crank up because of tropical storm emily that may throw some large swells our way. right now 88 degrees philadelphia, 89 allentown. 87 in trenton. really gorgeous cape may, 81 degrees. upper 70's in long beach island and as we take a look at the evening planner here you can see temperatures stepping down from the upper 80's going into the mid 80's by 8 o'clock in the evening and then as we get closer towards midnight and thereafter, temperatures slowly going into the middle and upper 70's so we're not going to have as much of a drop-off in those temperatures tonight compared to the last couple of nights. satellite and radar, you can see most of the eastern half of the country pretty quiet as we can see from saint louis, cincinnati right to the east coast. there is some unsettled weather in the nation's heartland. that is all due to low pressure and a trough and a cold front that eventually will come through here but not until the beginning of the weekend and there you can see those thunderstorms and heavy downpours in central parts of florida and that is all because of tropical storm emily. but for us locally here 70 for the overnight low tonight 65 allentown, 67 wilmington. near 70 at the shore. so, still fairly comfortable out there with low humidity under a clear sky. as we go into the day tomorrow, it's hot and it's a tad more humid than today. temperatures going from the 60's at 7 o'clock in the morning jumping to the 80's by late morning. upper 80's to around 90 in the afternoon tomorrow and again, you can see that sunshine in control. so, over this week the heat will be building and it's all because of the jet stream carving its way just to our west sending those southwesterly winds so it's hazy, hot and humid but thankfully that trough taking away tropical storm emily. first day back. emily heading out to sea but it will throw some swells our way and over the weekend that cooldown will be pushing in. so, down the shore tomorrow low risk for rip currents, temperatures in the mid 80's, slightly humid out there, ocean temperature of 75 degrees and pretty similar for cape may county down to the beaches in delaware, a really nice day to round out the beginning of august. as we look at the exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast, heat wave comes in this week. it's a moderate heat wave with temperatures in the low 90's. the humidity stays slightly humid. it doesn't go to the oppressive level and you'll see high clouds. wednesday, thursday, friday there could be an isolated thunderstorm up closer towards the lehigh valley and poconos but most of us stay dry. front comes through early on saturday with some showers, maybe returning sun in the afternoon and then it brings cooler more pleasant air in on sunday and monday, sun and clouds and highs below average in the low 80's. so, a hot week ahead. >> yeah. >> and a little bit humid as well. >> okay. thanks adam. >> okay. >> all
