 Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- A 12-year-old Las Vegas boy created a mobile app and is now showing it off at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas.

Ethan Duggan started working on the LazyHusband app a few months ago after learning to code.

The app gives users the ability to play phrases from a smartphone in response to common questions. For instance, "No, you don't look fat." 

Duggan is now working on three new apps, including LazyWife and LazyKid.
