I need an App or Gadget for.....

<p>I wish that when I turn my cell phone’s ringer down, that I could set it to only be down for XX minutes (during a meeting, appt) so that it would return to normal after the set time. I’ve missed too many calls because I forget to turn it back up.</p>

<p>I’ve looked for an app, can’t find one.</p>

<p>What app or gadget would make life easier for you?</p>

<p>I want an app that has the capability to log me into an aisle in a particular store and through the camera (kind of like FaceTime) lets me “walk” down the aisle to see if a store has a particular item I’m looking for. And to zoom in on the price! Would save a lot of time/gas/frustration shopping and eliminate those phone calls to a store, “do you have this item…??” </p>

<p>Part two of the app would let you “tag” the item sold and give you a small window of time to get to the store to retrieve it. :)</p>

<p>This reminds me of the big bang episode where sheldon got kicked off the app team and was left to design a shoe app with penny.</p>

<p>I need an app that searches my e-mails, and automatically puts things on my calendar when it finds dates and appointments. It’s great to have a digital calendar but it does you no good when you forget to put things on it.</p>

<p>Something that will tell people in the communal kitchen where I live this summer to STOP eating the food that I pay for. Yeesh. (So glad I never had a communal kitchen in undergrad, and that it’s just for 2 months…)</p>

<p>An app that could tell me whether or not I’ll have a job by the time I get my M.S. next May would be wonderful…</p>

<p>And of course, something to write my Capstone paper for me.</p>

<p>I want an app that will empty the dishwasher for me. ;)</p>

<p>I just don’t understand why the newer phones don’t come with option to “time limit” the turning down of phone rings. At least I haven’t seen any phones with this option. :(</p>

<p>My blackberry had an option for silencing all sounds (text, email, etc), but leave the phone ringer on. It was called “phone calls only” in the settings. </p>

<p>Does anyone know how to make an iphone 5 do that? I love everything about my iphone. But, I miss the “phone calls only” option on sounds.</p>

<p>On an iPhone</p>

<p>Settings > Do Not Disturb > Switch On/Off</p>

<p>Settings > Notifications > Do Not Disturb > adjust when you want DND to be activated (certain times) and if you want to receive phone calls from everyone, no one, or just your contacts during the period DND is activated. </p>

<p>No alarms, no sound, when time is up, everything is back on. </p>

<p>Voila.</p>

<p>Thats right- I have mine set to do not disturb while I am sleeping but you could use it to the expected lenght of your meeting.
You can also set it so that you only receive calls from your emergency contacts, instead of all of them.</p>

<p>Also on an iPhone, you can have Siri remind you to turn the ringer on at some time. I assume you can do that on Android too, but I’d have to look it up.</p>

<p>HAHAHAHA emeraldkity! Makes me want a wife!</p>

<p>I would like an app that would “nudge” someone else to remind them of something they are supposed to do, while making it seem to them as if they remembered it on their own. I’d call it “Subliminal Nag”</p>
