At first when I read this, I thought; ‘an auto reply for twitter and facebook?  NOooooo!’  My worse thoughts was some putting an auto reply that they are eating a sandwich and will be back online in ah hour.  Really?  You are so locked into your SocMed addition that you have to let people know when you cannot reply like an eager tween looking for validation?

Then I looked at the app on the iTunes dev store and though, well wait, there is a use case, be it rare. Say you are on vacation and plan on disconnecting for a week or so.  Then yea, I can see an auto reply “IF” its well controlled.   What concerns me is the possibility it will autoreply TOO much.  In other words, there is a conversation you started and suddenly you are auto replying to every new message thus spamming those that left messages before you.  Worse, if you auto reply to every mention in a tweet, that can get REALLY annoying.

Assuming these issues can be addressed, this is a pretty straight forward app.  Set and end data and time, then give it a label.  Done. Perhaps you go camping once a month, then you can simply update the preset.

I sent an email to the person who created this and I’m waiting for a reply.  I still think its a bit much to feel the need to autoreply twitter and facebook, but as long as there are strong controls to guard against spamming other people, this could be a useful app when traveling or just taking an extended break from SocMed every now and then … which I recommend.
