AndroidTapp.com Android App Review:
I was absolutely dreading this review. I knew it would only be valuable with in-depth research. About half a bottle of cherry vodka later and I think I’m ready to make the call on this one!
Before the mini-party in my basement with my boyfriend and some Super Street Fighter IV, I set the app to not allow me to call my two best friends. You can check as many people as you’d like, but I figured for testing purposes, those are the two numbers I call the most and I’d most likely try to call them. I then set the time from midnight to 6:00AM. You can set any time you want and then hit “Start the Party!!” and when that time hits, the program activates.
This app really works! I’m more of a drunk texter, but I definitely couldn’t call my friends when I tried. When I did try it gave me the most ridiculous things to try to figure out. I probably could have figured it out if I tried, but it definitely discouraged me from trying to make the call.
Pros & Cons:
Pros
- Select all the numbers for a person
- Easy to set up
- Different levels of questions difficulty so you won’t drunk call
Cons
- Have to remember to hit “Start the Party!!” before the party starts

Usefulness:
If you are prone to calling your ex at 3:30 in the morning when you had a little too much at the frat house, this app will be your best friend!
Ease of Use:
Before the party, this app is easy to setup. It even has a built in, easy to access information page on the main screen so you can figure out exactly what settings you have to work with and what they all do.
During and after the party, depending on the difficulty you set for the questions, this app can be nearly impossible to use, but then again, that’s exactly what it’s supposed to do.
Frequently Used:
How much do you drunk dial? That’s how frequently it will be used.
Interface:
It’s set up very, very well. I don’t say that often. Any app that gives me a page right off the main page that tells me everything I need to do to set the app up, that is how you get bonus points with me!
