Ness
Ness is an internal application that is also known as "Earthbound". Not much is known about this app, and what it truly does. It is believed to be a reincarnation of the application "BurnIn", but has yet to be confirmed with proper evidence. The app's icon is a remake of one of the characters from the Nintendo game, Earthbound. This app first made an appearance in an iOS 7 Switchboard build.
The UI of the application features two main elements. Firstly the main UI that shows a picture of the Earth, and if you pull down in the way that you would typically presented with the notification centre in stock iOS you are presented with something that resembles "Control Centre", it is currently unknown what these do. Finally when this "Control Centre" is activated, you see a picture of the Nest Thermostat behind the centre. It is unknown why this occurs, but may have something to do with the temperature of the phone as there is also another file in the .app that references to the temperature of the Nest to be hot, and is thus named "internal_thermostat_hot".
