Everyone who owns an iPhone or iPod Touch should download ExitStrategy.
The app solves the long-lost question of “How do I get out of here?” Afraid of being stuck at a family function, work event or, worse, the inevitable blind date? This navigation app helps you navigate your way out of an uncomfortable situation.
ExitStrategy enables users to schedule a text message or telephone call at the touch of a screen. While this app is simple, it provides users with the option to set the caller ID as unknown, or they can select a contact from their address book. It also provides six phone-ringer choices. Texting offers the same solutions. Users can enter a phony text message and have it sent from one of their contacts.
The best part of ExitStrategy is the ability to ignore the call or text if the user is having a good time.
What good is ExitStrategy, you might ask, when you get stuck in the elevator with a co-worker or run into an ex-girlfriend on the street? ExitStrategy gives you an opportunity to navigate your way out of this one, too.
The app comes equipped with a large red Emergency Exit button. Users can touch this button and wait. The only downside to this app is that it takes about three minutes for the phone to ring and save you from the situation. Three minutes of being uncomfortable is a fair trade for getting out of a sticky situation.
