Multitask while on a phone call with Thrutu for iPhone

Thrutu, by MetaSwitch, is a new app that lets you share location, photos, contacts and more while you’re talking on the phone.

Thrutu brings new fun and function to the phone call. It’s so simple that you’ll wonder why phone calls couldn’t always work this way.

Thrutu comes with five buttons:

Thrutu needs simultaneous voice and data to meet operate at its full potential, so if you’re a Verizon customer, you’ll need to be connected to Wifi. However, Thrutu does make it possible to share via SMS for Verizon customers or when the person you’re talking to doesn’t have Thrutu installed.

I haven’t had the chance to play with this, yet, but it looks rather promising. Having quick and easy access to location, camera, photos, and contacts while on a phone call will be very convenient. Sure, I can switch apps to accomplish any of these tasks (except the vibrating), but this is a much better implementation. I hope Apple is taking notes, as I think this a feature that is lacking in iOS.

Thrutu is available for free. Screenshots and video after the break.
