Marco Polo - Find your phone by shouting MARCO!

If you've ever lost or misplaced your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch somewhere nearby but can't quite remember where, the Marco Polo app will help you quickly find your device with just your voice. Just shout out loud MARCO! and your hidden device will ring back POLO! so that you can find it.

When I saw this I immediately wanted to download it but alas, it has that "red bar" issue. I'm sure there are some other very creative people out there who will figure out either a) ways around this Apple limitation or b) even more innovative ways of helping others find their phone.

This is hilarious. Curious to see how well it actually works.

Awesome, thank you @rrhoover !

@cyborgnation try changing the input phrase to something more complex if it is misfiring. (for example from "MARCO" to "HELLO JOE")

The red status bar is pretty unfortunate on iOS. I am trying to find some creative workarounds to this and hoping iOS 8 opens up new possibilities if there are none now.

I didn't even realize you could change the phrase. That's great!

Just bought it. It doesn't work. Don't waste your money.

That wasn't long... it's already pulled. Regarding that red bar, that's a good thing Apple put this in place. It's a quick and easy way to see if an app is listening. Without it, any app could listen and record your private life. Also, re: the battery life. Why do you think the Echo and Echo Dots are plugged in? ;)

I usually just scream "HEY SIRI" 😬
