WhatCall puts you through to voicemail. Leave your message and you’re done. WHEN TO USE IT • Calling in sick. Let your boss know you won’t be in without a round of questions. • Short on time. Return a call without getting pulled into a half hour chat. • They’re busy. In a meeting, driving, putting the baby down. Leave a message instead of trying to catch them at a bad time. • Too long for a text. Say it in 20 seconds instead of typing a paragraph. WHERE IT WORKS • Mobile and landline numbers with voicemail • Automatic dialling code detection for supported countries • Dial in your usual local format where supported • Some networks also send a missed call text alert WhatCall is free to download. Calls use credits available to buy in the app. The number you call must have voicemail. Behaviour varies by network and settings.

Tired of hunting for this shop's app, that program's barcode, and the other membership card? I was, so I made this app. Membership Navi saves all your barcodes, QR codes, and even plain member numbers in one app. So when someone asks you to "open the app": no surprise "login again please", no bad-signal drama, no "you need to update". No digging for that one app you use once in a million years. Just launch Membership Navi — all your codes are waiting for you. How do you add them? Scan a physical card with the in-app camera. Already have a photo of it? Load it with the photo picker. The code lives inside another app? Take a screenshot and Share it to Membership Navi. Done. Easy peasy. And if that one app blocks screenshots... borrow a friend's phone for a second, take a picture of your screen, then scan the friend's screen with Membership Navi's camera. (Naughty, naughty.) Membership Navi remembers each code's exact format and shows it back exactly as it was scanned. So it reads on the first try at the register. QR, EAN, Code 128, Code 39, Codabar, PDF417, Aztec, and friends are all supported. Your cards sync through iCloud, so your data moves with the clouds. Then comes raining down onto all your devices. Including your Apple Watch! You don't even need to pull out your phone at the market anymore. Just show your wrist, and done. No account creation. No ads. No network required. No collecting your data, no selling your data.
