Pretty nice idea.
I wish there would be an app, where you would pay for example $1 and other persons phone would get blocked for 1 hour - and they would got this $1 as an incentive.
This would solve a lot of social issues with people reaching for their phones when out with friends while still provide incentive for people to actually install app.
- digitalsushi 12y agoI think that really patronizes both people. The person buying the time for a dollar now knows their time is worth a dollar, and the person getting the dollar knows they can be bought for a dollar. Invert this idea, do a 'swear jar'. You put your phone into dumbphone mode, and if you have to break it, the other person gets a dollar.
- funkyy 12y agoMost people that are a--holes enough to pull out their phones and play on apps while with their friends wont mind $1 lost imo. Unless they are really on budget.

- TeMPOraL 12y agoI've seen an interesting 'swear jar' implementation when I went to a bar with friends last time - someone suggested everyone put their phones on a pile, and the first person who touches his/her buys a round for everyone. Cost me a bit of money, that time.
- personlurking 12y agoAn app 'swear jar'? Interesting. Soon, a real app swear jar that listens to you to know if/when you swear. Or a Causes swear jar app that donates a small amount for every swear word.
