Ever had a friend call you during a date to give you an escape out? A new iPhone app has channeled this age-old method by creating a fake call that is sent to your iPhone just in time to get you out of a sticky or boring situation.

With Fake Calls, an iPhone app developed by Magic Tap, you will never be stuck in an ackward conversation again. The app makes it look like you have got a call from your boss, your mother or even Steve Jobs. And it allows you to customize the number, decide when to receive the call, change the wallpaper for the caller ID and set the phone up to ring or vibrate for the fake call.

There really is no cost to always having an out, but Fake Calls costs $0.99 and Magic Tap is donating 10% of their earnings to charity so you are doing some good for others as well as yourself. Download it now at iTunes.
