This new app makes it basically impossible for your kids to ignore you

This could come in handy.

There’s a new app on the scene which makes it basically impossible for your kids to ignore you.

We get that it can be annoying when your children are out and they don’t reply to you (like, HELLO, where are you), but this app may make it a little bit easier.

So, how does it work? Well, when you send a text to someone, the person will receive the text and then an alarm will go off on their phone – whether it’s on silent or not.

But that’s not all – it will also take hold of a person’s phone screen; freezing it until the recipient replies to you.

It was actually invented by a dad who was sick of his 13-year-old son not texting him back.

His son constantly said that he couldn’t hear it because his phone was on silent (that good ‘ol excuse), so his father found a way of combating that problem.

The app, ReplyASAP, basically makes you impossible to ignore… but there is a catch.

The person has to download the app too, and accept you as a friend.

It’s free to download, but you have to pay around €1 for every friend you have, and the more people that connect with you, the more the price goes up.

According to Cosmo, it’s available on Android now and will be coming to iOS within the next week.

We think we’ll stick to being ignored, tbh.
