DNDPro Cydia Tweak: Force Override DND Settings For Apps On iPhone
Posted by Badri Tek on 06:14 with No comments
Do Not Disturb is indeed a great feature for avoiding disturbances which arrive in the form of calls, text and notifications when you actually don’t need them. The stock DND feature on iOS 6 (I am talking about users who have not upgraded to iOS 7 yet) is good enough as with the flick of a button you can turn on / off alerts for all the applications. When in sleep, the Do Not Disturb feature works for all the apps except alarms and this is the exact way one would like the feature to work. Apple has improved the feature for iOS 7 but there are many users who are yet to update their devices to the latest version.
But as we know there is no app which can be called complete and to improve the stock Do No Disturb, comes a new Cydia tweak named DNDPro. The package costs $0.99 and adds a few extra features to the stock function. The tweak adds two important features – a Force Do Not Disturb section and a Show Banners Only section, under the Do Not Disturb settings page.
When you have purchased the package and installed it, you will see a DND Pro section under the stock Settings app. From there you need to ensure the tweak is enabled and from the same page you can navigate to the Do Not Disturb settings page and scroll down to see the newly added features.
The Force Do Not Disturb and Show Banners Only sections contain a list of all the applications with their respective toggle buttons in front of them. When you have enabled the Force Do Not Disturb feature for select apps, and you are using any of those apps, all the alerts get silenced on their own.
Similarly the second feature, Show Banners Only, forces iOS to only display banners for all applications when you are using an application for which the feature is enabled.
Further it also adds a small feature called Ignore Do Not Disturb under the Notification settings of all the apps which, if enabled, shows alerts regardless of the Do Not Disturb setting.
For sure this tweak adds some great features and if use the Do Not Disturb feature a lot, the new features are definitely going to work in your favour.
