ChatterBlocker iPhone App Review

Reviews


ChatterBlocker iPhone App ReviewChatterBlocker is an extremely unique app but one that for a lot of people, will more than likely be extremely useful indeed. If you work in a cubicle style office or anywhere else that you usually have a lot of distractions around you, taking focus off your work, then ChatterBlocker could very well be the app that you need. The concept of the app is to block out this background noise to allow you to focus on whatever it is that you are doing. The ChattterBlocker app does this in a unique way that it very interesting indeed. It is certainly extremely easy to get distracted from your work, especially when you have co-workers or family members around you and you can overhear conversations. Often, you will start listening to what people are talking about and lose focus on your work. ChatterBlocker actually blurs speech in a unique way by using a range of soothing nature sounds and other background chatter. Intelligent conversations are always a distraction but with the use of ChatterBlocker, you will be able to blur what people are saying to ensure that you don't get involved in the conversation by accident. This ChatterBlocker app has been getting a lot of attention since its release a few months ago and was actually named as a staff pick in the Apple.com downloads section. It has also been mentioned by LifeHacker.com and Macworld UK; all well established and highly respected names. However, the big question is; how well does this app work and should I spend $2.99 on it. The short answer to these two questions is "yes". ChatterBlocker obviously doesn't work miracles but it really does help you to focus on your work by blocking out the sounds. The apps interface allows you to specify the type of noise that you are trying to block out. You basically select one of the noise types from a list (or you can select multiple choices) and select how loud it is.

Overall, this works really well as there are a lot of different noise options to choose from. For example, you can choose things like "Female Chatter", "Male Chatter" and many others. Choosing the right one is paramount to getting the most out of the app. If there was one negative with this app, it would be the overall look of the interface. The way that it works is very good, but the colour scheme could be a bit more pleasing to the eye. However, none of this matters and the truth is that the app does what it says on the tin and for a measly $2.99, you are getting a good deal, especially if it actually helps with productivity. The app is available from the iTunes app store here.
