GottaGo ($1.99)

If you’ve ever wanted a perfect excuse to leave a meeting (or anywhere else, for that matter), you’ll love GottaGo. This clever little app lets you create a bogus phone call or text message and have it appear on your iPhone at any time you choose. At the appropriate moment, your iPhone rings or chimes and you receive what looks and sounds just like a real phone call or text message.

The GottaGo Unlock screen is animated just like the real thing. You can attach an image to your GottaGo call so it truly looks like you’re receiving a real phone call. You can record custom audio that you hear when you answer the fake call. And you can select your own wallpaper and ringtone to make the effect even more realistic. The call settings screen is shown in Figure 18-4, and the resulting fake call appears in Figure 18-5.

When you gotta go, nothing gets you out of there faster than the GottaGo iPhone app. Isn’t two bucks a tiny price to pay for your freedom?
