Price: $0.99    Score: 8/10    By Shaun Campbell

Everyone has experienced an awkward or boring situation that they just couldn’t get out of fast enough. Dead-end conversations, meetings and unexciting social engagements – we’ve all been there. No need to come up with excuses any more – iSoBusy is a new app from development team iBeSilly that gives you the perfect exit strategy.

Fake call apps are nothing new, but iSoBusy isn’t just an ordinary fake call app. iSoBusy features 23 pre-recorded “accomplices” that actually talk to you when you pick up the phone – so now there’s no need to have to talk to yourself in order to make your getaway.  For each accomplice, you can get set a personalised photo, custom ringtone and the time you want them to call.

Some of the 23 humorous accomplices in iSoBusy include:

• Mom calling about a dinner party
• Teenage daughter on spring break
• Brother complaining about a trip to the dentist
• Deep-voiced boss
• Indian restaurant owner
• Football buddies at a game

You can preview any of the calls by simply tapping on the bar next to the name of the accomplice. The pre-recorded accomplices are great, especially if you want to throw the conversation on speaker phone for that added realism – but the one thing that they don’t do is give you time to reply, or ask you questions. That’s where “Create an Accomplice” comes in. In addition to the pre-recorded calls, you can also create more than fifteen of your own recordings with all the same options for customization available to you. Create an accomplice is also especially useful if the voice artist accents used in the pre-recorded don’t match up with the area that you’re from.

Bottom Line: iSoBusy gets you out of uncomfortable situations, fast. Believable calls and customization options make this fake call app a winner. There are plenty of fake call apps on the App Store but iSoBusy offers that something extra and is still only $0.99.

iSoBusy requires the iPhone OS 2.2.1 or higher and is compatible with both the iPhone & iPod Touch.
