Instant Reply

We live in a world where everyone carries a phone with them everywhere they go. So, people expect to be able to get ahold of you, or you will get back to them right away. If you don't respond quickly a spouse or parent will wonder what is going on, a friend will get their feelings hurt, and you will not be considered very unprofessional in the business world. But, sometimes it is very inconvenient or impossible to drop what you are doing and respond to a text or call. You may be a student in class, you may be in an important business meeting, you may be driving in the car, or you just might be trying to focus on a workout an you keep getting distracted. That is where the app Instant Reply comes in. With this app you simply select what you are doing and about how long you will be and the app will automatically respond to any cell call or text message to that person telling them what you are doing and when you will be available.


Everything in this app is preset, so you only have to select a couple of things on the screen whenever you need to use it. There are 7 different preset default messages to select from - Driving, in a meeting, working out, in class, at an appointment, at work, at a movie. You can also add or delete any default messages that you want. So, you just have to select what you are doing and about how long you are doing it and select "Set Reply Now," and the app is going and the timer has started. So, for example: if you have it set for you to workout for 1 hour and someone sends you a text 30 min into your workout, then it will reply to them with a text telling them that you are currently working out and will be available in about 30 min. You can also customize what you want the response to say. Another useful feature of this app is the emergency function. If someone sends you a text and the app automatically is responding for you, the message being sent to the sender will give them an option to remove the block in case of an emergency.

This is such a great app because it is something that almost everyone with a smart phone will find useful. It does not matter who you are or what you do, everyone has circumstances were this becomes very useful. It is also so simple to use, and only takes seconds to set up ever time you need to use it. You will still need to personally respond to the sender when you are available, but never again will someone be wondering what is going on, why are you not responding to them.
