SmartSilence is a new silent mode scheduling app that allows you to easily plug in times during the week you want your phone to be silenced or on vibrate. When that time is over, the phone will simply go back into the mode it was in before. Plug in your work hours, your class hours, and any meetings, and the app will do the rest for you, every week. You can deactivate any of the schedules at any time with the click of a button.
Most importantly, SmartSilence was designed to be easy to use, with a simple and easy to look at interface. Create your silent schedule with no second-guessing or having to look at a Help menu.
NOTE: If you are having any issues with the schedule not activating, it is most likely because your phone has been turned off since you started the schedule, which cancels the schedules. This will be fixed in a future update, but all it takes for now is simply opening up the app after the phone is turned back on. Once the app is opened it will sync the phone back with all silence schedules again automatically.
What is in the Pro version?
SmartSilence Pro includes the ability to add one-time events as well, such as an interview or a one-time meeting. Plug it into the app while you are thinking about it, that way you don't have to make yourself try to remember to turn the phone on silence when the time comes. Once the event passes, it automatically deletes it from your schedule.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Q: How can I set a silent schedule for overnight?
A: If you set a schedule with an end time that is before the beginning time, the schedule is created to go overnight. As an example: if you want the phone to silence every Tuesday night from 10pm to every Wednesday morning at 8am, you set the schedule to Tuesdays (not Wednesdays) from 10pm to 8am. In the schedule list view, it will say (overnight) by the time to indicate the schedule will go overnight.
Q: The app says 'Click to get started' with an arrow that points to the settings menu. How do I create a schedule?
A: This is a bug with devices with smaller screens that also have their firmware updated to 4.0+. The arrow should be pointing to a '+' button. Simply press the menu button on your device and press 'Add' to bypass this until this is fixed with the next update.

But wished you could select certain people can get through it and it could be a hidden background app cause I keep accidentally ending the program when clearing my running apps.

I like this app when it works but you have to make sure its running for it to work. Every time I turn my phone off or clear background apps to save power I have to remember to turn it back on...

It sometimes doesn't activate. I have it set Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm and vibrate only. Some days it just decides not to activate.

Doesn't survive updates well. Occasionally needs programs re-saved/restarted. Great interface.

I really wanted to like this app. But I've had it for 2 weeks and it's only worked correctly twice. It doesn't turn itself on when it's supposed to. My phone made noise at work and I got in trouble, and it woke me up in the middle of the night, so I'd advise you to not take the risk on this app.

Sometimes it just doesn't go into silent mode. And even after it does, some things just aren't silenced.

This is a great idea but the app doesn't work as scheduled. No reliable. Found an alternative app. Hope you will improve the app and make it work better. Good luck.

This program seems to block at specified time, but when the block time is over it still blocks which makes it unusable.

It has never worked on 3 different phones Kyocera Event, Kyocera Rise & Samsung Galaxy SII. It does nothing... never puts the phone in silent mode and never comes out. It does nothing!

I setup my schedule and it will go into silent mode at the right time but 2 out of the 3 days I've used it, it has started in silent instead of going back to ringer

Very simple and basic but still works. Used a few times and it does what it's supposed to. If it acts up I'll change my rating but as of now it's perfect

I had an issue at first, but emailed developer and he very quickly replied and helped solve the problem. Turns out having the app "Shush" installed at the same time causes issues. Works great now! Thanks for the great app!
