SmarterDumbphone is helping people stay off their smartphones without missing what matters. Here’s what our users have to say:
As a mom of three, I have a lot of things going on in my life and I wanted to make sure I didn’t waste my time scrolling on my phone. SmarterDumbphone has made it easier for me to keep on top of my calendar and look up info about the places I need to drive to, and that’s made sticking with just a flip phone much easier.
Mom of 3
My friends keep texting me links even though they know I use a flip phone. Now I can actually open links without having to bug someone for the details.

Aside from the camera, this removes the biggest pain points I have with my dumb phone. Finding things while I’m already out, or tracking event commitments. Being able to translate links is useful for keeping up with my friends that send them too.

After switching to a dumb phone I found it hard dealing with all the stuff I no longer had to hand. I want a simpler life, but as a freelance photographer, I still need access to certain info. SmarterDumbphone gave me back access to the weather and my existing email and calendar services, which meant no more problems. Plus I can still satisfy my cravings for answers to random questions!
