Smart Answering Machine 6.0



Be smarter



There's no better way to treat a wayward call than to reject and reply with a standardesque message about ~how you're in an important meeting or something. Smart Answering Machine is designed to follow that exact scenario, because answering phone calls is not in its feature list.

Surprising to many, Smart Answering Machine doesn't answer to anything or anybody. What it does however is cancel the incoming call after a determined number of seconds and then send an "I'm busy" text message back to the caller. The text is editable, but the message will always include an appended advertisement... advertising this here app. A thing that might not be to the taste of most; especially since the title is so misleading.

Smart Answering Machine

Saying that it doesn't answer at all might be a bit exaggerated. As an option you can enable the recording feature. The reply message will include an invitation to call again, at which time "Smart Answering Machine" (called SAM from hereof) will simply accept (i.e. answer) and then record the call... in complete silence. The caller will most likely be confused as it would seem to them that somebody picked up but just sits there and listens. That doesn't seem "smart" to me. If the app would have included a prerecorded "heavy breathing" effect it would have been great for gags. As it stands however, it's just an underdeveloped feature.

Sleeping time is also covered by SAM. You just need to tell him... er, it about your sleeping interval and SAM will make sure your phone will not ring, supposedly. I haven't tried this because eight hours of sleep is too much time to be put into research for this article.

On the same note, users are fairly displeased with SAM in general terms. Not only that it doesn't work as advertised, but the paid functions seem to be a hoax. I'm sorry for sounding too harsh but when many say that SAM doesn't unlock the functions that they paid for, there are reasons to be concerned. Perhaps the $2 that it 'steals' is not that much of a deal for them make an official complaint. But you can bet it's enough to steer me away! The paid functions refer to expanded behavior during "meetings". Frankly I cannot fathom how SAM can figure out when a meeting is taking place, but I'm not going to pay two bucks to find out.

Features

  • Automatic disconnection and reply message for missed calls
  • Phone ring override during sleep time
  • Faux paid functions

Conclusion

I might have bashed this app a bit too much but honestly, Smart Answering Machine seems like an alpha version. The fake Settings button on the top right really adds to this impression. I suppose we can wait for more features and bug-fixes. I wouldn't hold my breath though...
