We safeguard ourselves against disease, unexpected pregnancy, and Vin Diesel movies. But what about mobile communication calamities?

For a significant undocumented percentage of the global population, cell phones have become inanimate enablers, facilitating socially and professionally crippling accidents and decisions. The Bad Decision Blocker is here to thwart this epidemic.

By making contact info unavailable for a user-selected time period, the BDB application prevents outgoing phone calls, text messages, and emails to the selected contacts from the iPhone’s address book.

Once a contact is blocked, the user will be unable to see the contact’s phone numbers and email addresses (NOTE: YOU CAN DIAL FROM MEMORY. APPLE DOESN'T LET APPS BLOCK THE PHONE'S RADIO). When the user launches the BDB, it automatically restores a contact's info in the address book if the block duration has expired.

Have trouble refraining from contacting someone you recently met before the socially acceptable grace period? Make regretful or accidental calls to coworkers and relatives? Can resist sending out risque pictures of yourself? The BDB can block contacts for up to a week.

The Bad Decision Blocker- Protecting You from Yourself.

NOTES: Before blocking a contact, the user must delete any text message conversations and call history that may exist with that contact. The iPhone platform doesn't allow the app to automatically close them. USERS CAN STILL CALL AND TEXT A BLOCKED CONTACT IF USERS HAVE THE NUMBER MEMORIZED. APPLE DOESN'T ALLOW THE APP TO BLOCK THE PHONE'S RADIO. THIS APP IS A PREVENTATIVE SAFETY MEASURE, LIKE A CAR'S AIRBAG.

SEARCH FEATURE: WHEN USING THE SEARCH FEATURE, SELECT DESIRED CONTACTS (YOU WILL SEE CHECKS NEXT TO THEIR NAMES), THEN CLICK "DONE." THEN HIT THE "NEXT" BUTTON WHICH TAKES YOU TO THE "BLOCK DURATION PAGE."

Don't dial yourself into social or professional destitution! Save yourself from having to post on F-MyLife and TFLN!
You may love poker, but don't gamble with your reputation.
You make wake up and say, "where's my water?". You never want to wake up and say "where's my dignity!"
