Where all can you use the Sound Lookout android app?



I have following use cases in my mind for the app:
1. Be alerted that the door bell has rung while you are listening to music on your headphone in your bedroom.
2. Need to keep small kids engaged ? See how excited they are when they see that clapping near one phone makes another phone play music! You can do this with the app on one phone alone too with the Kids' Toy mode starting version 1.8 of the app.
3. Be alerted to a crying baby sleeping in a room further away while you are watching TV in the living room.
4. Want to scare your friends by sudden music? Checkout the Prankster mode of the app.
I got to know another use case from one of my office colleagues after he read the description of the app on play store.
5. Use is it as a call bell ! a bedridden person can just clap to alert his caretaker who is away in another room.

It would be nice to know your ideas about use-cases for an app capable of making another WiFi connected device play music or make a phone call to any number upon hearing a configurable level of sound! Looking forward to your comments!

The following video will help you get started with using the app:
