Hi. I'd like to suggest that someone develop an app that reminds clients of their appointments. My wife is in private practice as a psychologist, but her practice is too small to afford a receptionist. There are web based service providers, but this requires updating their web site with your diary, which is a pain and not really practical, unless you have that receptionist.

So what I would like is an app that allows you to make an appointment in your phone calendar with someone in your phone's Contacts list. At a set time (say 9:00am the working day before hand), the app sends a text message from your phone to the client to remind them of their appointment. The app should import data from the contact list to personalise the message, which needs to have a customisable template. So the message could read: Hi Jim, just a reminder of your appointment with me on date at time. Please reply to confirm your attendance or re-schedule if necessary. Regards, Elaine Therapist.

There would be 100s of psychologists in Australia that would use such an app, many times more massage therapists and probably other professions that I can't even think of. But this is a world wide market place, so the potential is huge. Particularly as you could charge a super premium price for such an app. I'd pay $20 without hesitation if it came recommended.

Naturally you'll provide me with 10% of revenue for coming up with the idea! LOL!. But at least a free app would be appreciated.

Give this app a shot, it does not use your Google Android calendar, but allows you to set an appointment and set a reminder text message for the attendee.
