Shutdown app for smartphones

The title says it all. Shutdown every activity (Internet, apps, whatever) apart from phone calls (in and out) on your smartphone for a specific time interval in order to avoid addiction and any other phone usage, for example in specific environments

PROs

  • Can help people to be in a "distraction-free" environment for a while or parents helping kids to be more responsible with their smartphones
  • Many apps on desktop, no apps for mobile
  • Probably easy to be made: an app that can't be closed (with phone exception, which can be implemented in the app) and disable notifications
  • Easy to monetize: 0.99$ or more
  • Press will go crazy for something like this :-P

CONs

  • Cannot work on iOS for sure (jailbreak?), not really sure for Android
  • What about possible bugs that can forbid people to use their phone in case of emergency? Lawsuit!
  • Is there really a market for this kind of apps? Probably not
  • Should provide strong security in order to be activated only on purpose
  • Probably removed by any store management...
