Description
If you are addicted to your smartphone and keep looking at it without a particular need, even when you are out with friends, dumbphone is the win-win solution - you can disable all smartphone features for a period of time, so you won't be tempted to look at it and you'll be able to enjoy seeing your friends at the pub, the nature, and the world.
Dumbphone blocks internet connection and disallows running applications, effectively turning your smartphone into a plain old feature-poor phone - only calls and sms.
In case you really need to use your smartphone features before your planned dumbphone time has elapsed, you can still do it (though not immediately, but rather with a delay of several minutes), and that is recorded in the log, so that you constantly see the number of times you have shown weakness and have succumbed to your addiction.

It does its job. However, 2 problems I encounter. 1 if you use hangouts as your sms app then you will have to deal with constant pop-ups while trying to text. 2 sending/receiving group messages or picture messages is impossible w/o data. Could you please update and allow apps like hangouts and other sms apps to not be badgered by pop-ups
