Avvo’s Last Call
When you have a team of extraordinarily talented developers, sometimes they just can’t keep themselves from developing.
Case in point: Avvo’s new iPhone app “Last Call.”
Even though we didn’t have an iPhone app in the development budget, our development team went off in their spare time and built a prototype anyway. Once it was far enough along, they came to us and said, “Isn’t this cool? Can we have part of the budget to finish it?”
How could we say no. It was as though our development team had sketched the Mona Lisa and were simply asking to fill in the colors. Their prototype was full of too much genius to deny.
Well, their Mona Lisa is now finished, and we call her “Last Call.” Our press release is here; but, in a nutshell, Last Call is a *free* application that allows you to:
– Log your alcohol consumption as you drink.
– Monitor your estimated blood-alcohol level in real time.
– Find nearby taxi services if your blood-alcohol level is too high.
– Contact top Avvo-rated DUI attorneys if you need one.
What is great about Last Call is how easy it is to use. When you are out for a drink, you simply enter your weight and gender, and then log each of your drinks from an extensive menu. Last Call then estimates your real time blood alcohol content and alerts you if you are above the legal limit. And, possibly best of all, if you are above the limit, Last Call helps you find a taxi an Avvo top-rated DUI lawyer with the push of a button.
You have to try it out. Click here to get your free download of Avvo Last Call.

I really love this app and use it religiously! I’m hoping you can release an updated version that would just allow an “other” option to manually enter the ABV for a beer and a custom SIZE of a drink, as the options given, while extensive, don’t cover every variety. (And I’m all about the variety!) Thanks for the consideration and thanks for the app!

Thanks for your feedback! Custom drinks and drink sizes are definitely something we’re looking at for a future version of Last Call. For now, it’s probably easiest to pick the next size larger than the size you’re actually drinking, to err on the side of caution.
Thanks again, and I’m glad you like the app!
