Today I am recommending Drunk Mode, a fantastic mobile application
that prevents its users from drunk dialling. What a simple yet BLOODY COOL idea ay.. I first got in touch with one of the masterminds behind Drunk Mode,
Joshua Anton, because I thought to myself.. this is absolutely fascinating.
Upon speaking to Josh, I learnt that there are actually similar applications in the market. However, Drunk Mode stands out like a ray of sunlight because of its
fantastic understanding of its users needs. It is brilliantly up to date, it caters to a global market and most importantly, it works like a charm.
Drunk Mode essentially does two things:
1) It prevents you from drunk dialling certain people.
2) It allows you to pre record messages that you would want sent to yourself in your not-so-sober state, E.G. 'Don't Drink and Drive.'
For a clearer picture, check this video out:
I was told that the makers behind Drunk
Mode have a lot of big plans for the app, but let me tell you exactly why I think
you should download it. My answer can be summed up in one word: numbers.
For a bunch of college
students, the Drunk Mode masterminds sure managed to hit their target group. Within the first week of
its release in April 2013, Drunk Mode gained 500-600 downloads. By July 2013, this
number surpassed 3000. Let me tell you something readers. If people are
downloading this application, it has to be something.
Do yourself a favour and give it a go.
