Is Shabbos App for Real?

See
http://www.shabbosapp.com/
«The Shabbos App allows one to halachically use a smartphone on Shabbos, thereby enhancing the Shabbos experience for observant Jews everywhere.
THE SHABBOS APP
 

Today a smartphone is an integral part of our lifestyle - in fact 65% of Americans own a smartphone. Currently, using a smartphone on Shabbos is prohibited. Unfortunately, this does not stop many otherwise observant jews from using their devices  on Shabbos, and can make Shabbos harder for the more adherent observer that do not use a smartphone.»
