About Dumbphone (Absolut)
If you are addicted to your smartphone and keep looking at it without a particular need, even when you are out with friends, dumbphone is the win-win solution - you can disable all smartphone features for a period of time, so you won't be tempted to look at it and you'll be able to enjoy seeing your friends at the pub, the nature, and the world.
Dumbphone blocks internet connection and disallows running applications, effectively turning your smartphone into a plain old feature-poor phone - only calls and sms.
In case you really need to use your smartphone features before your planned dumbphone time has elapsed, you can still do it (though not immediately, but rather with a delay of several minutes), and that is recorded in the log, so that you constantly see the number of times you have shown weakness and have succumbed to your addiction.
The app is a winner of an "Absolut Ideas" contest.

It doesn't work. These apps started coming out a couple years ago but have either never been updated (so they don't work, like this ond) or have been updated to the point that they don't do their job anymore. It's too bad, these were some of the best ideas out there.

"Unfortuntly, Dumbphone has stopped" is what I get when I try to use the app. I have redownloaded it a few times to see if it would work but it doesn't. Shame, I think the concept is a great idea. Would love if if completely hid all of the apps on my phone and only left a dial pad screen, and if it worked period
