Have you ever had to let a friend know what you’ve been up to, but had to do it quickly and discretely?

Now you can with “Booty Gong”!

Back in the days of Pirates, people were fascinated with finding Pirate treasure, also known as “Booty”.

It was so prevalent, in fact, that when search parties had to let other members of their group know when they found some “Booty”, they had to do it in such a way that wouldn’t cause too much attention.  One of the most common forms of this communication was the gong, commonly referred to as the “Booty Gong!”

Nowadays, finding Pirate Treasure isn’t so prevalent, but every once in a while, we need to let our friends know what we’ve been up to and “Booty Gong!” lets you do just that.

Simply press the “Ring the Gong!” button and select whether to ring your own Gong or to notify a friend. Choose your friend’s mobile number and a text message will be sent to them notifying them of your experience.

We have big plans for Booty Gong and new features are in the works so stay tuned!!!

Booty Gong

Call someone by touching their smile, or send them a text message by touching their eyes! Not as creepy as that sounds, really! SmileDial displays a photo of someone’s face: tap the top half of the photo to send them a text message, or the bottom half to call them.

SmileDial Lite helps you call and text your favorite person. SmileDial Pro extends this to multiple people: swipe through multiple faces to choose the one you want. SmileDial Pro also enables you to call them via other phone numbers, send an email, visit their website, map their address, and more, in a fun way: shake the iPhone to show more contact information. A tap of the  button flips the photo over to reveal fields to edit the name and numbers for text messaging and phone calls, plus buttons to show the contact info and change the photo.

When you first use SmileDial, it automatically flips so you can specify a person. You can simply enter a name and numbers and choose a photo. Or you can pick an existing contact, via the Choose a Contact button or the  button in the name field. This will ask for a person and, if the they have multiple numbers, which one to use. If the chosen contact has a nickname, that is used for the name. You can change the name and numbers as desired, too; the original contact won’t be altered. After providing one of the numbers, it is automatically copied to the other if blank.

A contact’s photo is used for SmileDial, if available. It is previewed in the background of the edit mode. You can also choose another photo: an existing one from the Camera Roll or Photo Library, or take a new photo with the iPhone camera. The photo can be moved and scaled as desired, e.g. to show just the person’s face. The new photo is stored in the Camera Roll, so you can import it into iPhoto or use it elsewhere if desired. And again it doesn’t alter the contact record, so you’re free to have fun with it. 

If you want to use a different number, simply tap it to edit. It is automatically formatted. This formatting can be disabled via the Settings app if desired. You can also choose a different number from the contact info: simply clear the field then tap the  button to reveal the available numbers of the contact.

Once a contact has been specified, the Choose a Contact button becomes Show Contact Info. Tap this button to access the full contact information. If you want to change the person used for SmileDial, you can clear the name and tap the  button to choose a different contact. But for SmileDial Pro, you have another option: add a new person. SmileDial Pro includes a People button while editing. Tap it to display a list of people in the order they appear on SmileDial’s main side. You can change the order, delete them, or add any number of new ones.
