Unplug and Reconnect App for Android Review
Ever felt that your phone is a hindrance of sort while spending quality time with family and friends? If so, try out Unplug and Reconnect app for Android. The app temporarily disconnects or unplugs you from the virtual or professional world by ‘silencing’ your phone for a predetermined period, and connects you back once the said time duration elapses. Unplug and Reconnect can be downloaded for free from Google Play.
How Unplug and Reconnect App Works?
Using Unplug and Reconnect Android app, you can easily schedule a phone vacation. From the concerned menu, simply schedule the times and dates when you don’t want to be bothered by your phone. When the said date/time arrives, the app automatically silences your Android device, puts it in vibrate/air plane mode, or rejects all incoming calls, as you want the phone to behave. While silencing the phone, the app also lets others know that you’re taking a break and reconnecting with the real life for some time. How you want others to know about your ‘unplugging’ is your choice. For example, you can set the app to send a customized SMS to a caller, if your phone is in a ‘call reject’ mode. You can also opt to automatically post status updates on Facebook or Twitter as to how you’re spending your unplugging time and the duration of the break. For that, you just need to tick a checkbox on the scheduling interface.
Once the scheduled time period is over, Android Unplug and Reconnect application automatically brings the phone back to its original settings. In other words, you don’t have to worry about manually resetting the phone. Regarding schedules, the app will alert you about an upcoming break few minutes before it actually hits. You can customize the time duration before you wish to see the reminder (5, 10 or 15 min).
You could create as many ‘unplug and reconnect’ events as you like. Events can be scheduled to repeat daily, every weekday, weekly, monthly, or yearly, as in a typical alarm application.
Final Thoughts
Unplug and Reconnect app for Android gives you more control over your phone; it enables you to ‘shut it off’ anytime you wish, sans actually switching it off, and bring it back to life once you are ready to reconnect. Scheduling the ‘unplugged’ duration is easy and straightforward. You also have multiple options to let others know about your phone vacation. Unplug and Reconnect is a must have application if you think your phone is a real pain at times.

Love the app. I use it all the time. I pre-program it at my convenience — for work meetings, movies, whenever. I don’t have to remember to set it to vibrate or to return it to ring tone. It’s done. Great.
