Introducing the FWEXT App

Everyone is rushing around so much these days.  We often find ourselves rushing from one meeting to another.  Yes, the smartphone has given us a way to get in touch with someone to let them know you might be running late or something has come up.  Sometimes you might get sucked into having a quick conversation with someone and might need to bump your next meeting forward, being a little discrete can be tremendously helpful, meaning, not pulling out your phone and trying to type.  There might be other job situations, for example, event planners, who might have to signal the next entrĂ©e to be brought into the banquet hall.  Or, maybe even a factory or workshop floor where trying to type with the virtual keyboard because of dirty hands or gloves being worn might not be a possibility.

Our solution is simple.  We created the FWEXT app to allow users to pre-type 3 different messages.  Each can be called up by a different direction of "shaking of the phone." 
For example, you could set the message of "Not yet, will let you know when" when the phone is shaken back and forth. 

 A sideways shake could be set to the message "Running late, give me a couple of minutes." 
Up and down could be used as a "Go ahead."  Once FWEXT detects the direction that the phone has been shaken in, the SMS message box is populated, all the user has to do is hit send.  FWEXT is available for Free on Google Play.  Try it out and let us know what you think!
