***Tips

- Make sure you have the caller on speaker when you use Fake-An-Excuse from an iPhone -- otherwise the caller will not be able to hear the sounds clearly.

- Use the Configure Sound List button to configure the excuse list. Items that have a checkmark in the configure sound screen will be displayed on the main picker wheel. Tap an item to check/uncheck it.

- If you have the Repeat switch on, the currently selected excuse will start when all sounds are finished. This means you can start playing the Elevator excuse sound with Repeat set to On, and then switch to the Loosing Signal excuse sound and it will play when the Elevator sound is completed, helping you pull of an even smoother escape.

- Commit fully to your excuse! If they say, "What?", or ask other questions, just hang up and attend to the pressing issue at hand...

- Dont let your significant other see this application installed on your iPhone!

Pros and cons of Fake-An-Excuse : Hangup Now! app for iPhone and iPad

Fake-An-Excuse : Hangup Now! app good for

Very funny app for an excuse off the phone. Plenty of sounds ..awesome!
This is a pretty fun app. The biggest problem is that if you want to buy it with a giftcard, you cant and it charges your mastercard. A little heads up wouldve been appreciated!
They fixed the crashing problem in the new update. And they even apologized for the crashing issue!!
This app is awesome!!! So much fun and awesome variety of sounds!!!
If you got it when it was free, delete it from your iphone but not from your computers itunes. Then plug in your iphone and when the devices page comes up, go to the applications tab. Check off the box next to the app and sync your iphone.
Ever since i updated it . It keep crashing when i tap "start excuse" (and i have 2gen 2.0 iPod touch non jailbroken)

Some bad moments

If this app was on fire it would not be worth the spit out of my mouth, let alone a $1.
Dont waste your time. Most of the "excuses" are either so faint that you cant hear them, or so lame that youll kick yourself for downloading this app. There are only about 3 or 4 "excuses" that are anywhere near useful or realistic - most are junk.
The excuses are so badly recorded you cant even hear them on your end of the phone, its even worse for your caller. This app should be called when you want your caller to know youre lying. Major fail.
but the new update kept making it crash so I thought reinstalling would work, but now I have to pay... no thanks.
So I install the update, and I read in the notes it might crash, just uninstall and reinstall. Well, when I come to reinstall, its a dollar. You producers think you can sneak us out of our program, and charge us for it back? you just lost any chance for my dollar. And anyway, the sounds arent that good to start
I got ot for free and i updated it so i was charged a buck for nothing and now it crashes when i try to play something. Make it free again
