TempContact (Temporary contacts) is a unique app suitable for your next tour but also for your everyday. The application allows you adding a temporary contact person to your contacts list. The contact is entered for a predefined amount of time and deleted automatically after it expired. This is great when you have to enter the phone number of the hotel, the guide, the site you visit, the taxi driver or anything else, and you would have like that the contact will be deleted after the tour, leaving your contacts list relevant. The application has a site with demonstrating video: [link] And of course you can install it from Google play: [link] And from iTunes [link]
