Hi guys,
So I decided to create an app based on a simple idea my fiance gave me, and thought I'd come to you guys for some feedback.
In a nutshell, it's an app that will respond to an SMS trigger with the users current location.
1. Someone SMSs you "Where R U?"
2. Your phone works out its location to the closest 100m (if possible)
3. The app generates a google maps link
4. The app SMSs it back
That's the core of the app, but I've also created a "premium" version that has some other features such as a customisable sms trigger, geotagging, blacklist/whitelist options among others
What I'm hoping to get is a bit of feedback on my app and perhaps the way I'm going about a paid version of it. I'm very open to suggestions and I'm happy to provide the apk to the full version for those who want to try it.
Here's the link
Cheers!
*reserved*
Very cool. Thank you for developing

Thanks!! Any chance you can leave me a rating?
thankyou for sharing. i was looking for this application for a long time.
Really Good
Dame Good,
Thanks guys! Appreciate it
by the way I have an issue
Hi, I was wondering if you can please provide information about how to use the black list/white list thing in free version, because I only want to send replies only one person so if I enable white list and add that specific contact to the back list /whitelist list, then will it work or not. I need an answer for this from you and asked from you to add details about this list configuration information on the Google play

Hi chorauoc,
Simply set the blacklist type to "whitelist", then add the contact you want to the list. The app will then ignore requests from anyone else Sorry for the ambiguous use of "blacklist", but I didn't really know what else to call it I'll update the app description to make it a little easier to understand.
Thanks for the feedback!

I love this! Its a simple way for me to know where my 8 year old daughter is and make sure she is where she should be if out at a friends playing! I can see this app will become invaluae to me as my daughter gets older and more adventurous in life. Thanks for this.
One suggestion for paid version feature is hide app draw icon if at all possible? As this would stop it being messed with by said daughter who by the way knows I keep tabs on her but accepts and understands why I do so, as my mother used to say 'Only privacy any child should have is in the bathroom!' But just because she knows does not mean she won't mess

Hi mate,
Thanks for the feedback! I'll have a look at your request and see if I can get it in over the next few days
Let me know if you think of anything else.
I bought the paid app tried it out with my girlfriend but I couldn't get it to work. I used the default phrase and she sent me two messages asking "where are you?" But nothing happened. I have a note 2 on sprint, and when I clicked on last location it crashed. Nice idea though.

Hi there,
I'd be pretty keen to send you a bit of a debug version of the app to get some more info on why this is happening. I'm sure there are hundreds of possible combinations of settings and the like I missed while testing Would you be happy to install and test an apk if I sent it to you??
Can you make an improvement
Hi,
I really like this app and i would like to make a suggestion and i will be really happy if you can implement it on your app,
Ie
Can you implement an emergencies response to send the contact in the white-list, means if you could be able to identify the emergencies like not answering , sim change, not switch on for long time, etc.
If i further explain this,
Suppose I am not answering phone calls for log time period or my phone is suddenly switch off and not switch on for longer time (may be day or 3 days) , then we can assume that i may in a trouble so i would be happy to send my location via sms to my white-list contact, but at that time i may not be able to do it manually so if you can implement a way to auto response to contact that would be really nice. Also let say someone stolen my phone and tried to replace the sim card of it, so at that time you can implement a auto response massage by saying your current location as well as the new sim number (In order to do this you may have to record current sim details in a database and check periodically when a new sim change occurs ).Also if you can add a method to add pre-define locations, means if i or my contact went to home then i might be able to save my current location as home or if i or my other contact went to someplace (let say office) that we commonly goes we should be able to add it into a list, so when in the next time when my contact or i went to that places we should received sms by saying that we are in that place now (Simply means by doing this we can be sure that the person i was wondering to locate arrives safely home or any other pre-define places even i forget to send location massage via sms).
So if you can implement such a auto response method then this app will be a great one. Hope you will do this
I wil add ideas for make this app better in future :fingers-crossed:

So I've finally managed to implement your request (It took me a little longer than I planned ) You should get the update in a few hours. If you want to bring the icon back, install the Unhider and toggle it there Let me know how it works out for you.

I really like your idea with the emergency contacts, but I think it's a little out of scope for this app. Could be a good idea for my next app though
I like your 2nd idea too, but that would require constant location monitoring which can be very taxing on the phones battery. I like the idea of being able to save locations though, so the app could respond "I am currently at home" or some such You have plenty of good ideas!!
found small bug
Hi,
First of all thank you for your attention of my comments, anyway I found a small bug in this app, that is if we close this app using a task killer or clean master apps or anything have the capability of stop the service then this app not restart properly and we have to manually start the app again to get work, so can you fixed this bug, because as far as I believe the app should be in active status of anytime, hope you will consider about it, finally are you going to implement the location savings things in your app

Hey all, I'm new here but was looking for an outlet to announce applications. I have just finished up my first Android App and was hoping for some reviews/comments/suggestions. Criticism Encouraged!
Text Messenger is a simple away message application for your Android phone. There is a full version for $1, and a DEMO version (where you cannot change the default away message) for FREE.
Give it a try, then give it a Buy!
EDIT: updated barcodes to go directly to Android Market, rather than through AndroidZoom.
Just checking in to see if anyone had a chance to review my app, and had any comments/suggestions/criticism?
To make it easier to find I will post some barcodes (DEMO and Full Version) for the apps.
Thanks.

I'll check out the demo version real quick and tell you my thoughts =P

Don't mean to be mean, but don't people take a non-reply to mean that the recipient is away/busy ?
I can't test this because I use gvoice for texting.

That's alright, I know this isn't for everyone. With the current state of texting, especially with the younger crowd, I have seen many instances where people say "What the [email protected]#$ why aren't they texting me back!!!"...I guess this is more for those types.
Also, I find myself in situations where I really should not be reading/responding to text messages but I end up giving in knowing there is a message. With Text Messenger you can set your Away Message and automatically put your phone on silent at the same time. So when I am driving, in class, or anywhere else where I shouldn't be answering a text I do not feel the urge.
Pretty cool - few suggestions
Hey, just checked out the demo version of the app. I'm a brand new Android user. Coming from windows mobile I needed an app like this. Just a few thoughts as to what would make this an even better app. These are just suggestions and ways that I would like to be able to use the app.
1. Allow for profiles to be set up. Such as during certain user defined times, the app automatically sets an away status.
2. Allow for away statuses to be enable for specific contacts, like a black/white list.
3. Set up a quick reply list so I can select from some predefined messages such as "Call if it's an emergency", "In class"...
Keep us updated...
Nice app by the way

I do not know why you would not be able to find my app? Did you try scanning the barcodes I supplied? Do you have Android 2.2?
Anyways, I attached the apk for the DEMO Version of the app. In this version you can not change the away message, but if you purchase the full version for $1 USD the away message is completely customizable.
Thank you for the interest in my app!

Thanks for trying out my app.
I plan on adding a customizable list of away messages, so you can easily set "In class" etc...look for that update soon.
The Black List & Scheduled away messages are a great idea, although the initial decision creating the app was to make it as simple and quick as possible. Adding these features would be great, but also add more complication. I suppose there is no harm in adding these as optional features though, since if people wanted a quick easy solution they could simply not enable them.
I will keep you updated on the changes coming, look for your #1 to definitely be added with the possibility of #2 and/or #3.
Thanks again for trying my app, and leaving feedback!
P.S. Anyone else that has tried the app it would be great if you could rate it on the Android Market. Only a few people have rated it/commented, and I know many more have given it a try.
I like the demo app. I would like to try the full version but don't see it on the Market. I tried the posted barcode and it never loads the link in the browser.
Thanks,
I downloaded the donation version to be able to say what I want. What an awesome application. I can easily say one of my top 5 most useful. I set it when I'm driving, in a meeting, flying (in the air force) or when I'm busy with a million other things. Here is my list of features I would love to see, forgive me for any duplicates from any other post;
1. A widget! One that when pressed will turn on the auto reply AND have a drop down list of saves/pre-made responses.
2. Option to turn off notification bar icon, I hate that big green booger on my minimalist bar.
3. Option to save messages for future use through a quicky list
4. Option to have messages be contact specific (I would love to see this and would justify a higher price as it would make this an essential app, on par with SetCPU!)
5. Lastly, some notification of auto reply being sent, I'm currently not seeing one on my phone.

I'm using Android 1.6 on my HTC Tattoo. I scanned the barcode but I think i cant find it because my resolution (240 x 320) might not be supported.
I would like to buy the app, but i live in Belgium, and payd apps can not be bought from the market.
I just tried to install the app using the apk-file, but it doesn't works. Can u make a version for 1.6 plz, i really like it.

Thanks for giving it a try. If you press the menu button when in the DEMO Version there should be an option for "More Apps" this will bring you to the Android Market where you can see the FULL Version. I also attached a different barcode, this should link directly to the market rather than through AndroidZoom...let me know if that works for you? Otherwise just search "Robott Creations" or "Text Messenger" on the Android Market.

Thanks for the suggestions. I have heard more than once the need for customizable preset messages & option to turn off the notification "booger". I look to add those features this week. The rest of the suggestions I also agree with, and will hopefully work them in. I was looking to keep the app extremely simple, but the feedback so far has made it sound like the app is "too simple".

I am not too familiar with the Belgium Android Community, but it sounded like you said you are unable to buy any apps? If so, I do not know what I can do about that. But I will look into comparability for Android 1.6.
Thanks everyone, the feedback I have been getting has been excellent. I look to add some of these features shortly and supply you with exactly what you are looking for.
Version 1.5 Released
I read all the suggestions, and am trying to get them in ASAP.
Here are some features to hold you over until the next Update.
New to Version 1.5
------------------
* Custom preset Away Messages
- Easy interaction via Context Menu
* Enable/Disable Notifications
* Text Forwarding (Currently only supports other Phone #s)
* Minor Cosmetic Fixes
More Updates Coming Soon!
I hope the Android 1.6 support will be there soon. Such a lovely app ...

Both depend on the support of the project. Currently I have been hearing good feedback, but the number of downloads does not assure me it would be worth the time of creating an Android 1.6 version and/or porting to Windows Mobile.
I am currently working towards Version 2.0, and after that I will investigate porting and 1.6 support.
Thank you both for showing interest.
Any way of choosing which Apps this works with, as just had it in a weird loop on my facebook status. As I have fb notifacations sent to my mobile via texts, its put all away messages on my facebook, then as I had a new post, got sent a new text, which then triggered another away message...... Turned it off for now, but really good and usefull app, if you can have it only work with chosen apps. Like Handcent only.
I just searched the entire forum for Sensation questions about this.
Anyway its my first Android Phone and so far my experience is really good but for 2 issues.
After I made a master Reset because for some reason after the update from HTC to 1.35.401.1 just so you know I am on this update now the issues where there before this update.
Anyway my first issue or question is with the Calendar and its damn reminder/notification option, I just came from Sony Ericsson Satio/U1i where when I have created the event and go to remind/notifies me I get following options: Date and Time where I can set it to remind me of this even at the date and time I want. Where in the Calendar on HTC I only get the option of X Minuts/Hours/Days/Week preset by Google or HTC not sure who, no 100% free customization is there a Fix for this or something, I have searched the web and the market for anything that could do what I needed, but so far come up short, I normally demand my events to tell me the day before at 6PM that I next day have something planned, and atm I can trow this phone and all the apps and calendars I found into a wall and tell it to well never come back. Its the worst useless Calendar i ever seen. Anyway Anyone know a fix for this or a app I have missed that give me 100% customization over this?
My second issue or Question is for some reason when I wanna make a phone call or makes a new text/mms and wanna find the person to call am I showed both my phone Contacts and my Sim contacts even tho I told under persons to hide my Sim contacts, is there no way to make sure it do not show the damn sim contacts without having to delete them?
I hope you can help and I'm truly sorry if I missed anything that answer this but I searched Sensation department for it and found nothing giving me this answer.
calendar: can't you just download another calendar app that works how you want it? it's not the worst calendar you've ever seen just because it doesn't do 1 thing that you want it to do
contacts: people still have sim contacts? since android, i have found it far more convenient to just have all my contacts set up as google contacts, and just sync that...maybe you can set up your sim contacts as a 'group' and then only view specific groups when you want them?

I know my writing in English is not that good because its not my main language and also because i have a mild dyslexia, but I did write in the Calendar part that I have since I found out of this issue tested many if not every single Calendar APP I could find. I also tried APP's that claimed to improve on the original Calendar yet non did what I needed, Either there where no option to set a Reminder/Notification or if there where it used the build in version = UTTER CRAP. Hence why I ask here in hope someone know something that could do it, I have not tested the ones you have to buy as I have no refund chances in case it does not work well those I found has not and Google confirms that, so since I can't read anywhere they have it will I not waste my money on it just yet.
And Yes it is the worst Calendar on the fact no Company like Google who claims to make something for everyone including BIG BUSINESSES, would in their right mind send out something That do not allow for 100% customization over the reminder/notification in it like this, No wonder Google keeps scoring low in making good products for Businesses in this area. Had Google not claimed to make something GOOD and something that everyone including big businesses could use then I would agree then its just a stupid move and sad move.

Anyone with ideas/help for my Calendar and SMS/MMS/Phone Call issues?
Hey, I recently released an app to Google Play and was wondering if you guys could help me out to test it and to give me feedback!
The app is called Sms Replier and it's a tool that can be used to send texts to people who call you while you're unable to get to your phone to answer(while you're in an exam, or playing a game of soccer, etc.). I know this idea has been done before, but I want to know whether you think it's worth it for me to keep working on it so as to add features which have not been done in any other app. Please let me know how well it performs/what things I should change about it, and please rate it on Google Play!
I am excited to get some real criticism from android users so that I can continue to make this app what I originally set out for it to be!
The app is completely free! Thank you in advance.
I like it! Simple, but I would love a widget.

Hey. Can the app send sms at a specific time? For example set it to send an sms to a contact at 2pm and when the clock becomes 2pm it sends the sms. Cz I'm looking for such a feature.

Try SMS scheduler from the play store
Sent from my Desire HD using xda app-developers app
it works ace!
what would be good is to have either a widget to toggle on / off, permanent notification to enable access to the menu, or an idle / activity monitor like if phone left idle for x minutes then enable it; as soon as there's human activity then de-activate it (could be linked to the auto screen dim/off).
A very nice app, very useful for businesses. Out Of Office Reply
A great start! I would also like to add some suggestions (some may be repeats).
1. Widgets that you can add to turn on and off selected notifications.
2. Auto respond based on a pre-determined schedule.
3. Auto start on startup option (for scheduled events).
4. # appears over icon to notify user how many messages were replied to while away (like mail or missed call icon).
Keep up the great work!

Great app very helpful while driving especially. Would be nice if you could add some features to even reply to text messages automatically. Something similar to auto reply feature in GoSMS.
great work.

as bigdog said those are very essential to complete this app.
first time i installed the app.. i was really surprised to see its simplicity really awesome
i would like to add some suggestions and doubts from mine sides too even though they may be repeated
some brainstorming got me to bring up these elements
1. sometimes there can just be miss calls.. you can add up timer like (send sms before ringer, on one ring, on two rings, or like if didnt pick the call at all will send an sms)
2. a status bar indicating that the sms replier with number of sms sent. [a widget would also be helpful]
3. then you can add some templates or profiles like driving, in class or let users create their profiles or templates.
4. there is one more thing that u can get access of contacts and just disconnect the unknown numbers[ofcourse getting the notification with number at our end] and donot sent them a reply in order to maintain the privacy and not let the unknown numbers know what you are upto.
5. and if i may add a option.. a counter to be set to ring if a same person is trying to call for more than two three times or in case of emergency
i will add more when it comes ...
Would be great if it could work on whatsapp!
The difference is that you don't need to click the template to send it when you're receiving the call. It sends automatically when a missed call is recorded. Sorry to assume, but it doesn't seem like you actually tried using the app at all.

@saredev, does your app have feature that can exclude certain numbers from auto responding but they are in the contacts list. For example, notifications banks or credit card companies. These companies don't need to receive auto-response. I think you might have to check the number when it arrives whether it's a phone number or shortcode before auto-response. Or include a list of numbers from auto-response.

I'm currently working on adding in a quick-toggle widget. We'll see how it turns out. Thanks a lot for the feedback! :good:

Hey guys,
We are a small team of android developers that had a cool idea of an app which we released to the market few days ago. First of all, thank you for reading this, as you all probably know, promoting new apps is hard job these days and you are all we got.
The app called 'NeverForget' and the idea is simple: A solution to stop forgetting stuff when you leave your current location. There are tons of situations when this app may be useful. A classic example: When you leave your home at the morning to your job, you surely need to take with you some stuff such as your bag, wallet, keys, etc.. We have created NeverForget app to make sure you won't forget any of it again(Usually all of us forget something time to time). One of our main goals was to make the app as simple as possible, and that's what we did. One button click to start the app and when leaving your current place, the app will start a loud alarm. There are additional options available like setting the alarm name or taking a photo of the stuff you need to take.
After thinking of this idea, we have searched a lot and could not find any solutions to that common problem. After deeper search we understood why is that. There is NO way to determine device's location inside a building, for these days. GPS does not working inside closed places, and that was our biggest issue that we successfully overcame with NeverForget.
Basically the solution to it is that we rely on WiFi networks around you, if possible. If not, GPS service is required.
The app is FREE to use and available at Google Play.
We would appreciate your feedback and hoping you will try out our app - NeverForget.
For any questions you can send us an email to: [email protected]

Hello,
I want present my new app. that is in beta stage but fully functional: Phone usage monitor.
With this app you will be able to know when and how much you use your device and the apps that you have in it.
Please, report issues, if any, and suggest more events to monitorize.
Thanks
Play Store Description
Are you obsessed with your phone?
Up to what point?
Do you want to be aware of which apps are the most used?
Do you want to know what WiFi networks you connect to and at what time?
When are your applications updated?
Do you want to know if your phone suffers a expontaneous reboot or when you turn on or off the screen?
You need this app and you know it!

Looking good! An option to exclude certain apps like Nova Launcher would be nice.

Thanks for the suggestion. Great idea!
It would also be nice to be able to monitor a remote phone (opening up the app to for parental monitoring for example).
This could be achieved by either allowing to :
- send a daily report by mail
- having a client app with data synced whenever a connection is avaialable
- sending data to a central server
...
anyway to export the data as .csv ?
Hello, thanks for app!
Any chance to remove "full network access" from permissions in future ?
Heya! Congrats on making the portal. Good stuff you got there.
Here's some suggestions for the intro texts:
Part 1 - Current
"Do you want to know how do you use your smartphone?
You have installed this app, so the answer will surely be affirmative.
With this app you can know with what apps you lose your time; time which you could lose living your real life..."
Part 1 - Suggested
"Would you like to know how you use your smartphone?
Well, as you've already installed this app, that'll be an affirmative!
By gathering statistics about your apps with Phone Usage Monitor, you'll know where your precious time is creeping off to. Time you might want to spend on living your real life..."
Part 1 - Motivation
The second "do" doesn't really have a function in the first sentence and I made it a bit softer to make a more friendly first impression. I mentioned the app's name to remind the user what's going to help them (branding, be proud of your creation). I stayed true to your intention, the reference to 'real life', but made that a bit softer as well by using "might" and not mentioning a negative word like "lose". We're all winners here!
Part 2 - Current
"To let us know this information we will run a service in the background to monitor the use you make of your smartphone.
Quiet!, it will not consume more than a little bit of the precious battery of your mobile..."
Part 2 - Suggested
"You're probably wondering how much battery this app will consume. Don't worry, just a tiny bit.
Think about the time you will save after gaining all this usage intel. You won't even need as much battery anymore."
Part 2 - Motivation
Shouting "Quiet!" doesn't come across very friendly. There's also never a comma after an exclamation mark. I wrote the text to match the battery icon better. I'm also pushing the major goal of the app forward.
Part 3 - Current
"We will give you more information if you let us see how do you use the apps in your device..."
Part 3 - Suggested
"Sorry to bother you but I will need some usage access in order to provide you with all these awesome statistics. Is that okay with you?"
Part 3 - Motivation
"let us see" gives the impression multiple people or a company will be watching along, which totally isn't the case. I wrote it a bit more personal, fun and friendly.
Part 4 - Current
"Do not worry!
The data we collect is NOT sent anywhere."
Part 4 - Suggested
"Do not worry!
The data I collect is NOT sent anywhere."
Part 4 - Motivation
As in part 3, It's better to speak from a first person point of view, "I" instead of "we". It's just the app and the user, "you and me", which is a more comforting thought.
Instead of "START APP" I'd use something more vivid like "Lets go!" or "Show me some numbers!" or "Start saving time!"
The UDPA looks good, people are used to not reading these disclaimers and accepting them anyway. It's also a nice reminder that even if there is a "we", it's literally stating no personal data will be collected on any server. Kudos! :highfive:
I personally don't like the last paragraph but ah well, one has to make a living, right?
Looking forward to those stats...

I would not like it to be used without consent to spy on anyone :/

Sorry, but Internet permission is needed to display Ads.
I understand that you do not believe in my word when I say that I am not sending data anywhere, but I need to access the Internet to load the Ads
Please add export data functionality! Csv format for example. Great app otherwise, thanks!
Crashing
Hi,. Unfortunately the app crashes every time I open it on my OnePlus 6 that runs Android 9. The first time run screens work fine and permissions are assigned ok but then I can't open the app. I have tried clearing the storage/cache and that hasn't helped. Any ideas what to try next please?
Hi
Assuming you're rooted, please, post a logcat or send by email.
Thanks

Hello
I've tried but no luck reproducing the issue.
If possible, enter app settings then enable debug mode then reproduce the issue then sent the log file.
If not possible, please, contact by email or PM to receive a debug version of the app to track the issue.
Thanks in advance
