Stop Wrong Calls with DrunkBlocker app for Android
DrunkBlocker app for Android is a mobile application that stops you from making those cringe worthy phone calls when you are on the influence of alcohol/booze. Such things happen sometimes after a late night party, when you, on the influence of booze, pick up the phone, and call your ex-girlfriend or any other person with whom you never had a great friendship, and say something awkward, and in the morning you might not even recall if you’ve ever made that phone call. But the resultant fallout of the incident could leave a bad taste in your mouth. If such things happen with you often, then you should install the DrunkBlocker application in your Android device at the earliest opportunity. DrunkBlocker app for Android comes free of cost.
The App
Utility wise, DrunkBlocker Android app acts as your level-headed friend who snatches your phone from you, before you could ever make that fateful call. In the application, you need to mention which phone numbers belong to that ‘don’t go’ area when you’re drunk. For examples, these numbers could be that of your ex-, boss, parents etc. The app also gives an option to do a ‘blanket block’ of all the numbers in the address book.
It is also important to specify the time duration during which you are likely to be half-cut. Otherwise Android DrunkBlocker app will stray into the hours during when you are fully on your senses. Once set up the guard this far, you can safely drink knowing that the app won’t let you make calls even if you try to during those hours.
The only way to let you dial a number during the ‘blocked hours’ is to pass a sobriety test, the difficulty of which you can adjust from the settings screen on your phone. The test include counting on-screen objects, and finding a word in a jumbled up-block of text, which are not easy tasks even when you are in full control of your faculties, leave alone doing that while on the influence of booze. Technically, the interface could have been made a bit more streamlined. But it is not bad either.
Conclusion
DrunkBlocker is a very handy app to have in your Android device, if you don’t trust yourself after getting drunk. Once set up to prevent you from calling select phone numbers during your usual ‘drinking hours’, it won’t let you dial any of those numbers, unless you clear the sobriety test, which you won’t if you are not in senses. The DrunkBlocker app for Android comes as a free download from Android Market Place.
