【看英文中國郵報學英文】許多爸媽常抱怨小孩看到訊息「已讀不回」，而大部分家長只是抱怨一下，但英國有一位45歲爸爸Nick Herbert為了要小孩立馬回覆訊息，花了9個月開發一個速回APP「ReplyASAP」。
Parents often complain that children ignore their messages. Well, there’s now a brilliant application that makes your children reply ASAP! Nick Herbert from England spent nine months creating the app called “ReplyASAP” to force his son to respond to his text messages … immediately.
Herbert原本買手機給兒子是為了方便聯絡，但兒子太愛玩遊戲，總是把手機關靜音，不回訊息。為了讓小孩馬上回訊息，Herbert開發了這款APP。
The 45-year-old engineer has a 13-year-old son who never returns messages. Nick’s son keeps his phone on silent mode and ignores his father’s calls.
這款APP自2017年在Google Play上線以來下載次數超過75,000次。一旦手機裝上「速回APP」並綁定追蹤人後，無論是否轉為靜音，收到訊息都會響個不停直到被追蹤者已讀並回覆訊息。就算把APP刪除，系統也會發出刪除通知給追蹤人。
The app has been downloaded over 75,000 times since its launch in 2017. The ReplyASAP overrides the silent function of phones whenever a message is sent. The alarm goes on until the receiver replies to the message. The system can even send a notification to the parent if their kid deletes the app.
目前「Reply ASAP」僅提供Android用戶下載，雖然下載免費，但使用時要收費，追蹤一個人要1.22美元（約台幣37元) ; 10個人要價8.51美元（約台幣260元)。
ReplyASAP is only available on the Android platform. It’s free to download, but whenever you connect to someone, it costs $1.22 (NT$37) per contact. Connection to ten contacts can cost you up to US$8.51 (NT$260).
