Profiler by ToySoft is an app that allows you to automatically switch profiles based on predefined user set timers.There may be many instances when you find yourself in an awkward situation when you forget to silence your Blackberry. You definitely don't want your Blackberry to blare your ringtone out loud during a class for example. Read on for an overview of this application and how it can help you avoid embarassing moments when your phone rings in the middle of a meeting.
Profiler allows you to create up to sixteen scheduled profiles.You can configure it to switch profiles according to set times of the day or through keywords on your calendar. The first method requires you to set a start time and end time during the day when you want the profile to change. This app also allows you to set a profile schedule for specific days of the week.
I was able to put the phone into silent mode on all workdays using this feature. The second method allows profiles to be changed according to appointments entered in your calendar. You need to enter keywords related to the heading of your calendar entry and Profiler will switch to a configured profile accordingly whenever an appointment containing the keywords is encountered.
Profiler also supports user defined profiles, this is useful for those of you who do not use the default profiles provided on your phone. Profiler supports profile switching when the phone keyboard is locked only on OS 4.7 or higher. On other phones, the profile changes take place only when your keyboard is unlocked. The application was easy to work with and I had no trouble getting it to automatically silence my phone when I was at work. The app also allows you to manually configure a wallpaper and ring tone for specific profiles.
Profiler is an effective profile manager, it performs profile changes on the fly without any user intervention. If you require frequent profile switching due to your work schedule or if you attend classes during the day, this app is perfect and could help avoid embarassing situations.
The app is priced at $7.95 and you can download a trial here.
